Editing an Existing Component

Follow this procedure to edit an existing component.

1. Select a component.
   1. In the Project tree, expand the Definitions/Components subfolder for the project that contains the component you want to edit. Double-click the entry for the component you want to edit, or right-click the entry and select Edit Component.
   2. Open the Tools > Edit Libraries > Components dialog box, and select a component. Click Edit Component, or double-click the selected entry.
   3. Right-click an on-sheet component and select Edit Component.

2. The Edit Component dialog box opens, displaying the definition of the selected component.
3. When you're finished, click OK to save the changes.

If you removed a Quantity property to which a symbol pin was associated, a dialog box displays informing you that “The pins of the referenced symbol do not match the current component terminals and properties.”

1. If you want to adjust the current symbol (or a clone of the current symbol if another component is using the same symbol), click Yes.
2. If you want to generate a symbol consistent with the edited component properties, click No.
