- [Instructor] To jump into some
component properties I can right click
on a specific component and just go into properties.
Or maybe an even faster shortcut than that,
is just to double click on any component.
That's going to jump me into the properties as well.
Here I have a number of properties I can change,
I can add a whole number of parameters if needed.
I can change a description or id, a designator and so on.
In this case, I'm going to leave pretty much the defaults.
Maybe I'll just change the designator to U1 here
and of course I could change whatever
other values I may need and hit OK once I'm finished.
And I can see that's automatically
coming in on my component here.
If I need to move a component at any time,
again very simple, just click and drag
to change the location of any component as well.
And another very useful tool is the Power Ports.
So, again if I go to my Home tab
and jump into Power Port here,
and here I'm probably going to place a lot of
the schematic symbols within a specific project.
So I can just grab whatever power port I may need available.
Grab ground for now and just same as a symbol,
essentially just click to place to give a specific location.
So maybe I want to ground somewhere
about here and maybe somewhere about here.
And just the same, you're going to see I can throw in
a whole bunch and once I'm happy with throwing in all those
ports, once I'm finished, I can just hit the escape key.
Maybe I'll do a similar thing for Vcc here.
And throw in a couple of these ports as well.
And once finished, just hit the escape key.
So now we've thrown in a couple
of components and a couple of power ports.
I'm not going to go through throwing in
all of the components and ports for the entire schematic.
It's just going to be a repeat of the same here.
But, it's good exercise to try
and throw in all of my schematics
and all of my ports to try to reproduce the final schematic.
