Property Table

The Property table in Component Browser allows you to edit the property values that are associated with a circuit or schematic sheet. User-defined attributes can also be edited, which are specified in the Attribute Manager dialog. For definitions of the displayed properties, refer to the Properties Panel or Attribute List Help topics. Alternatively, search in the Help using the property name.

If you specify a Reference Designator value that already exists for a component on any sheet in the design, then a warning dialog is displayed which shows the duplicate value. However, it is not displayed if the value exists within a block in the design.

• Click Yes in the dialog to keep the duplicate value.
• Click No in the dialog to discard the duplicate value.
