Whichever Manager you open, all of the features described below are common to all the managers, differing only in content.
Symbols manager: Configuration Title blocks manager: Configuration 2D footprints manager: Configuration Macros manager: Configuration |
A dialog box opens, allowing you to enter the different configuration parameters for the Manager display.
The left-hand part of the dialog box allows you to select the columns to be displayed in "List" mode.
Thumbnail size: Enter the dimensions of the thumbnail.
Space between 2 thumbnails: Enter the distances separating the thumbnails in width and height. The designation or name displayed on the thumbnail will be displayed in this area. Remember to leave enough room between two lines of thumbnails.
Text under thumbnails: Select the type of text you want to see displayed.
Display thumbnail: If you do not want to see the properties displayed (used to propagate the data), check the box.

List mode: Displays the data in a list. Right-clicking the column headers allows you to select the columns to be displayed. Left-clicking the column header allows you to sort the column.
Thumbnail mode: Displays the data in a graphical form.
In both modes, a contextual menu allows you to access the various features available for the element.
The elements generated in the library have criteria that can be used to classify them (in the left-hand area, see the list with a tree structure form). When a class is selected in the tree structure list, the right-hand list is simplified to display only the elements corresponding to the selected class.
If you check the Display sub-classes content box, the dialog box also displays the elements contained in the sub-levels of the class.
When editing an element (symbol, title block or 2D footprint) to modify its graphics, you can leave the Manager dialog box open or close it.
