Part Default Parameters

rherbon

Is there a way to create a default parameter list so that every time I create a new schematic part, I get the same list of parameters?

    I don't think this is exactly what you want but I usually set up a few part templates in the schematic library.  I have a one for resistors, capacitors, ICs, etc that have various parameter names and placeholders for values.  Then to make a new part I just copy and paste the template parts and then edit them.  Since vault parts don't have the parameters I want, I sometimes copy and paste the symbols graphics from them into the newly pasted template part, though this doesn't seem to allow me to draw a window-box and then copy-paste.

     

    To copy the schematic library parts just right click, copy and the paste or use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V.  The pasted part will get a _1 added to the name (symbol reference).  For whatever reason, using the menu bar (Home > Copy) doesn't seem to work for me.

    Thank you Thomas.  I'll give that a try.  It seems like it should work for what I need.

    Also, I have found that when in the schematic library panel with the component properties open, I can right click and then select all.  Then press Ctrl-C.  This should copy all the parameters to the clipboard.  After this I can paste into a text editor or even into MS Excel as text.

     

    Alas, you cannot then do the reverse and copy an entire parameter set into a component.  But you can at least do the string one at a time.  It helps save a little time for me.
