Menu: Library > 2D footprints manager |
The 2D footprints manager dialog box opens. This allows you to add, edit or delete 2D footprints.
The left-hand side of the manager has two tabs.
This tab displays the 2D footprint classification as a tree.
The left side of the dialog box shows the 2D footprint classifications, the right shows the 2D footprints in the currently selected classification.
This tab allows you to filter the 2D footprint list. All filter criteria are the same as those present in the 2D footprint properties.
The right side of the dialog box displays the 2D footprints corresponding to the selected criteria.
Remove filter: Click this button to remove all filter criteria.
The right-hand side of the manager displays the 2D footprint corresponding to the selection or search criteria you entered in the left-hand side of the manager.
The 2D footprints are displayed in the form of a list (List mode icon) or in the form of thumbnails (Thumbnail mode icon).
Some of these features accept the multi-selection, such as Delete or Properties.
