Use the Component Properties panel to view and edit component properties.
From the tree view, expand Components, then right-click the component and select Properties.
| Component Name |
The component name. Used by CircuitWorks to determine if a component is unique.
|
| Part Number |
The part number. Might be used by CircuitWorks (in conjunction with the component name) to determine if a component is unique.
|
| Build Status |
Specifies how CircuitWorks builds this component:
-
Build New - The component part is not in the Component Library, so CircuitWorks creates a new SolidWorks model and adds it to the library.
- From Library - CircuitWorks uses the existing model from the Component Library.
To replace an existing library model, change From Library to Build New.
|
| No. Instances |
Total number of instances of this component type. Read-only.
|
| Component Type |
The component type: Electrical or Mechanical.
|
| Height (mm) |
Specify a non-zero height to ensure that CircuitWorks models the components in 3D rather than as 2D sketches. CircuitWorks shows zero-height components with a  icon in the tree and uses wireframe rather than solid in the preview image. |
| Orientation |
Shows the orientation of the part, for example, Front  . If the component exists in the library, then the icon shows the model's orientation. Otherwise, the icon shows the default orientation that CircuitWorks will use to build the model. CircuitWorks builds assemblies in SolidWorks from components with different alignments by rotating the components as needed.
