The Electronics Desktop Component Editor supports the viewing, modification, and saving of component information for use in the development of circuit designs. You can create new components, edit existing components within a project file, and manage components within external libraries. After modifying a component, the information can be saved, used to define a design, or exported. Component definitions are stored in library files with an extension of .aclb. You can access component definitions using the Component Editor.
To start the Component Editor, open a project and select Tools > Edit Libraries > Components. When the Edit Libraries window opens, use its controls to open the Edit Component window, then create a new component, or select an existing one, and click Edit to open the Component Editor.
