- Component Information - displays all relevant information about the listed components: Designator, Comment, Footprint, Library Reference, Pins, and Parts.
- Configure in Schematic
-
Pin Swap Data - displays how many of the component's pins have been added to a pin-swap group. For example, [3/2] means that 2 out of 3 pins have been added to a pin-swap group. The
icon appears when a component has been modified to add pins to a pin-swap group. When a component has been modified to remove pins from the pin-swap group, the icon appears. -
Part Swap Data - displays how many of the component's parts have been added to a part-swap group. For example, [3/2] means that 2 out of 3 parts have been added to a part-swap group. The
