Adding a New Component

Add new components by creating a model using the appropriate editor (VHDL-AMS, C-Model, SML, or SPICE), or by importing a model. You can also add new components with the Components Library dialog box.

Before you define your new component, identify and modify (or create, if necessary) the Symbol and Model or netlist that will be associated with the component.

1. To add a new component, open the Tools > Edit Libraries > Components dialog box and click Add Component. The Edit Component dialog box opens.
   • You can also open the Tools > Edit Libraries > Components dialog box and select an existing component on which you will base your new component. Click Clone Component. A renamed copy of the selected component appears on the list.
2. Double-click the new component, or click Edit Component. The Edit Component dialog box opens.
3. When finished defining the component, click OK to save the changes.
