Convert to component

Design a circuit block once, and reuse it in every project.

Use Convert to Component to create a module from a group of components.


Overview

Use a module to reuse a part of a circuit in many projects. To reuse a group of components from one project in a different design, convert the group to a module.

Convert to Component

To convert a group of components into a single component:

  1. Select all the components that you want to convert.

  2. Right-click and select Convert to Component.

Adding Terminals

Convert to Component turns a group of components into a module. A module needs terminals to connect to a project.

If the selected group has no terminals, the module has no connections.


There are two ways to add terminals:

  • Add terminals to the group of components before you select Convert to Component.

  • After you select Convert to Component, right-click the new module and select Open.

    • In the module, drag the terminals to the necessary positions, then publish the changes.
