5.1 Placed Component Properties
Each component placed on the circuit window has a set of properties that control certain
aspects of it beyond those stored in the Multicap database. These properties affect only the
placed component, not other instances of that component in other circuits or other locations in
this circuit. Depending on the type of component, these properties determine some or all of
the following:
• the identifying information and labels about the placed component to be displayed on the
circuit window (for details, see “4.9.1 Modifying Component Labels and Attributes” on
page 4-34)
• the component’s value and footprint.
5.1.1 Displaying Identifying Information about a Placed
Component
As described in “3.4.2.1 Sheet Properties - Circuit Tab” on page 3-24, your settings in the
Circuit tab of the Sheet Properties dialog box determine which identifying information is
displayed on your circuit.
You can also override these settings for an individual placed component, as described here.
To set the identifying information to be displayed for a placed component:
1. Double-click on the component. A properties dialog box for the selected component
appears.
