Sub menu Edit menu item Symbolnames |
When editing a symbol, the symbol properties can be changed with this function. The top editbox represents the symbolname. This symbolname can not be changed, because the symbolname and the filename of the symbol are the same. If the symbolname should bechanged, simple save the symbol under another name. The checkbox to the right of the editbox defines if the symbolname is visible when the symbol is used in a sheet.
The second editbox contains the interface name. Normally the interface name is the same as the symbolname. When the symbol is a part of a bigger symbol (see Multiple symbols), the interface name will be different. The checkbox to the right of the editbox defines if the symbol is part of a multiple symbol.
The third editbox defines the initial reference name. This initial reference name should always end with a quotation mark ?. This quotation mark is necessary for annotation. The checkbox to the right of the editbox defines if the initial reference name is visible when the symbol is used in a sheet. In the fourth editbox a description (help) cab be edited.
Annotation
The checkbox at the bottom defines if the symbol is protected in a sheet. Protected symbols in a sheet can not be selected.
