Component Dialog Wizard

The Twin Builder Component Dialog Wizard facilitates the development of component dialog boxes for user-defined models, as well as many other models (for example, some VHDL-AMS components and subcircuit components such as Icepak) that do not already have their own component dialog boxes. The wizard features an easy-to-use graphical interface you can use to design, preview, and test component dialog boxes.

This section describes how to create, edit, and test component dialog boxes with the Component Dialog Wizard. It also provides a thorough explanation of the menus and toolbars in the wizard, and a detailed step-by-step example of how to create a component dialog box using the wizard.

Note: In Twin Builder, model text compilation typically creates a component dialog box with a default layout. This layout is overwritten whenever you update any new model or component compilation. After you use the Edit Component dialog box to edit and save the wizard layout, it will no longer generate a new default layout for that component.
