(Toolbar) : Mode
Description This command is used to remove the current graphical representation (mode) for the active component. A component can have a default representation - called Normal - and up to 255 additional representations, known as Alternates.
Use First ensure that the component you wish to remove a graphical representation from is selected in the Components list of the SCH Library panel (and is therefore the active component in the main design window). Change the current graphical representation (mode) for the component to the one you wish to remove.
After launching the command, the current graphical representation will be removed from the component and the previous representation will appear in the main design window.
Notes You can remove any of the graphical representations (Normal and Alternate) that exist for a component.
If the component has one or more Alternate representations and you remove the Normal representation, the first Alternate (Alternate 1) will become the Normal representation. All other Alternates will be renumbered accordingly.
If the component has no Alternate representations and you remove the Normal representation, only the graphics will effectively be removed. The Normal representation remains, since a component must always have at least the default view for its symbol. The main design window will show a blank sheet, ready for addition of graphics.
