Design Tree

The Design Tree panel allows you to view data in a tree view for open designs. It also provides a view of hierarchical designs which comprise several definition circuits. It is toggled on by clicking View > Design Tree on the eCADSTAR Schematic Editor ribbon, or by clicking on the Status Bar. Circuit data and resource files are displayed, and sheets or data can be displayed by selecting them in the tree. Data is represented by icons as nodes in the tree, and folders and nodes can be expanded or collapsed. You can open data, execute a command or activate a tool by double-clicking an icon, or selecting an item on the assist menu. The assist menu is displayed by right-clicking an icon in the tree. You can also close a design using the assist menu in the design tree.

 

Note
  • You can only open one design per instance of eCADSTAR Schematic Editor.
  • If $CIRCUIT_PATH notation exists in the data path definition file, and the top circuit is changed from the design tree menu, then close the design once and reopen it.
