Part Builder Operations


The BUILD_SYMBOL OPERATION List in the Middle of the Main GUI allows the user to select the processing steps required to build the schematic symbols for the current part

Double Clicking BUILD_SYMBOLS will start the whole process of building the symbols which is broken down into 3 main steps

  1. READ_PIN_REPORT
  2. SMART-FRAC
  3. MAP_PINS_TO_SYMBOLS
  4. CREATE_SYMBOLS 

PartBuilder can detect errors or warnings at any step along the way. If it does, it reports them as Warnings in the status window.

If it deems that the problem would create an invalid part, It will stop processing at that Step. 

In the early stages of partCreation, It is common for the user can to disregard the warnings and manually select the next steps. This allows them to focus on  building one symbol at a time.
