Description This command is used to place the indicated component onto the current document.
Use After launching the command, the cursor will change to a crosshair and an outline of the component will appear "floating" on the cursor. Simply move the component to the required position in the workspace and click or press ENTER to place it.
Continue placing further instances of the same component, or right-click or press ESC to exit placement mode.
Press TAB while in placement mode to bring up the Component Properties dialog, from where you can change properties for the component.
Press the SPACEBAR while in placement mode to rotate the component. Rotation is anti-clockwise and in steps of 90°.
Press the X or Y keys while in placement mode to flip the component along the X-axis or Y-axis respectively.
Notes When placing multiple instances of the same component (or multiple parts of the same component), it is advisable to set the designator of the first component instance (first part) before placing it (press the TAB key during placement to edit the object's properties). By doing this, the designator will automatically increment as each subsequent component instance is placed.
