(Toolbar) : Mode

Description This command is used to add an additional graphical representation (mode) for the active component. The addition is called an Alternate.

Use First ensure that the component you wish to add the additional graphical representation to, is selected in the Components list of the SCH Library panel (and is therefore the active component in the main design window).

After launching the command, an additional graphical representation (mode) will be added to the component, labeled Alternate N (where N is the next available number in the range 1-255).

A blank sheet will appear in the main design window, ready for you to add the graphics for this representation.

Notes The current graphical representation for the active component is denoted by an enabled 'tick' beside its entry in either the main or right-click menus (right-click in the main design window) or the Mode drop-down list in the Mode toolbar. The current mode is also shown in the Graphical region of the associated Component Properties dialog for the active component.
