Applied Parameters: Index=n (where n is in the range 1 to 20)

Summary

This command is used to quickly create a batch of component definitions for the indicated component type.

This command is currently hard-coded. Only component definitions for Generic Chip Resistors are available for generation. You are not able to batch-create definitions for your own defined component types at this time.

Access

This command can be accessed from the Component Library Editor by:

Choosing the Edit » Operations » Generate <Component Type> command from the main menus.
Right-clicking over the definitions region, away from any currently defined definitions, and choosing the Operations » Generate <Component Type> command from the context menu.

The command only becomes available on the respective menu provided no component definition is currently selected.

Use

After launching the command, component definitions will be automatically generated for the indicated component type.

Tips

The component definitions generated by running this command will be added to those already defined. In other words, the latter are not overwritten by generation of the former.
