| ECAD
Component Name |
The component name. Used by CircuitWorks to
determine if a component is unique.
|
| ECAD
Part Number |
The part number. Might be used by CircuitWorks
(in conjunction with the component name) to determine if a
component is unique.
|
| Device
Class |
The Electronic Component Type or Standard
Classification of the component.
Examples of device classes are Capacitor, Diode,
Transistor, Fuse, and Filter.
For older library parts already present for ECAD
files in
install_dir\CircuitWorksFull\Examples,
the reference designator prefix is used as the Device Class.
|
| ECAD Component
Type |
The component type:
Electrical or
Mechanical.
|
| ECAD Component 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. |
| 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.
|
| SOLIDWORKS component
|
Specifies
the location and filename of the SOLIDWORKS model for the
CircuitWorks library
component. Click Browse
for component
 to list
electronic component data models from the 3DEXPERIENCE
platform.
|
| SOLIDWORKS
Configuration |
Specifies the SOLIDWORKS configuration name to
use for the component in this CircuitWorks model.
(Last Saved) specifies the currently
active configuration.
|
| Reference designator
prefix |
Specifies the letter prepended to reference
designators for new instances of this component. For example, if
your Reference designator prefix is
C, and you use two capacitors on a
board, the software assigns the reference designator C1 to the
first capacitor and C2 to the second capacitor when you export
the model to SOLIDWORKS.
|
| Orientation |
Shows the orientation of the part. 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. See CircuitWorks Options - Models for
details. CircuitWorks builds assemblies
in SOLIDWORKS from components with different alignments by
rotating the components as needed.
|
| No.
Instances |
Total number of instances of this component type.
Read-only.
