|
Create a new schematic. |
|
Open a schematic. |
|
Save complete schematic (with the whole hierarchy). |
|
Select the sheet size and title block editing. |
|
Call component editor Libedit (Examination, modification, and editing of library components). |
|
Display libraries (Viewlib). |
|
Call the “navigator”, to display the tree structure of the diagram hierarchy (if it contains sub sheets) and the immediate selection of any sheet of the hierarchy. |
|
Remove the selected elements during a move block. |
|
Copy selected elements in the clipboard during a move block. |
|
Copy last selected element or block in the current sheet. |
|
Cancel the last delete (up to 10 levels). |
|
Open print menu. |
|
Call CVPCB. |
|
Call PCBNEW. |
|
Zoom in and out, around the center of screen. |
|
Redraw of the screen and optimal Zoom. |
|
Call the menu of components localization and texts. |
|
Creation of the netlist (Pcbnew or Spice format). |
|
Component annotation. |
|

|
Generate the BOM (Bill of materials) and/or hierarchical labels. |
|
This toolbar gives access to tools for:
|
|
|
|
Stop the order or tool in progress. |
|
Navigation in the hierarchy: this tool makes it possible to open the subsheet of the displayed schematic (click in the symbol of this subsheet), or to go back up in the hierarchy (click in a free area of the subsheet) |
|
Call the component placement menu. |
|
"Powers" placement menu. |
|
Wire placement. |
|
Bus placement. |
|
Wire to bus connections. These elements have only a decorative role and do not allow connection; thus they should not be used for connections between wires. |
|
Bus to bus connections. They can only connect two buses between themselves. |
|
“No connection” symbols. These are to be placed on component pins which are not to be connected. This is useful in the ERC function to check if pins are intentionally left not connected or are missed. |
|
Local label placement. Two wires may be connected with identical labels in the same sheet. For connections between two different sheets,you have to use global symbols. |
|
Global label placement. This makes it possible to place a connection between a subsheet and the root sheet which contains the subsheet symbol. |
|
Junction placement. To connect two crossing wires, or a wire and a pin, when it can be ambiguous. (i.e. if an end of the wire or pin is not connected to one of the ends of the other wire). |
|
Hierarchical subsheet symbol placement (resizable rectangle). You have to specify the file name to save the data of this “subsheet”. |
|
Global label
importation from subsheet, in order to create a connection on a
subsheet symbol. Global labels are supposed to be already placed
in this subsheet. |
|
Global label creation in subsheets to create connection points. This function is similar to the previous one which does not require already defined global symbols. |
|
Lines for framings… Only decorative, and does not perform a connection. |
|
Placement of comment text. Only decorative. |
