Structure of the Component Database
Multicap 9 User Guide 7-3
• the
Corporate Database stores components selected and, possibly, modified or created by
an individual user or company/institution; these remain available to any other selected
users.
• the
User Database stores components modified, imported or created by you; these are
available only to you.
The
User Database and the Corporate Database are empty when you first use Multicap. You
can use the
User Database to store frequently used components or components you create
using Component editing (which is described in the following chapter).
The
Corporate Database is primarily intended for companies/institutions (or individuals) who
work on projects where components with specific attributes are shared within a group or
project.
If you modify a component, thereby creating your own version, you must store it in either the
User Database or Corporate Database. You cannot modify the Master Database .
You can build a circuit that contains components from any or all of the available databases.
