Editing a Component’s Symbol
Multicap 9 User Guide 8-25
In the
In-Place Edit Mode, you can change the graphical elements of a symbol (e.g., the shape
and placed text). You cannot add or remove pins as this would affect the footprint mapping.
Note The
In-Place Edit Mode only changes the symbol for the selected component. It does
not change the symbol for other components of the same value within the active
circuit, or in the database.
