Library Explorer
Description of the Library Explorer panel in Schematic Editor.
The Library Explorer panel contains components (in the form of a component tree view) which can be inserted in a schematic diagram. Schematic components are grouped into categories. To make finding components easier, a Search field is provided, accompanied with tree functions which allow you to collapse, expand, and sort category names. For detailed information on the components available in Typhoon HIL's Schematic Editor Library, please refer to the Schematic Editor Component Libraries section.
To add a new component to a schematic diagram, press and hold the left mouse button on the desired component name in the component tree, drag it to the schematic diagram (scene) and release the left mouse button over the desired position to place the component. (Figure 2). This is actually a drag-and-drop operation. The action of adding a component can be cancelled by pressing the Esc keyboard key.
A component will become available once all of these bullets are satisfied.
Double clicking on the component label (in the schematic diagram) opens a dialog for changing the name of the component (Figure 3). Also, the name can be set to be hidden. (Figure 4).
