Using Flux’s “Convert to Component” feature, you can quickly create a module from a group of components.
Overview
Modules are a great way to reuse portions of a circuit that stay consistent across multiple projects. If you find a group of components in one of your projects that could be reused in another design, you can use the "Convert to Component" function to quickly make it a module for future reuse.
Convert to Component
To convert a group of components into a single component:
- Select all the components you want to convert.
- Right-click and select "Convert to Component"
Adding Terminals
As mentioned, using the "Convert to Component" option turns a group of components into a module. As with any module, terminals are required to use it in a project.
If the group of components you've selected doesn't contain any terminals, the resulting module won't have any connections.
There are two ways to add terminals:
- Add terminals to the group of components before using the "Convert to Component" option
- After using the "Convert to Component" option, right click on the generated module and select "Open".
- Once inside the module drag the terminals to the desired position and then publish the changes.
