How to Create AKO S
mbols
AKO symbol creation is a two step process as follows:
1
Create the base symbol.
2
Add one or more AKO symbols.
The following procedure explains how to create a new library
with the base and AKO symbols.
To create a new librar
with a base s
mbol and
AKO s
mbols
Start the symbol editor
1
From the File menu in the schematic editor, select Edit
Library.
Add the base symbol
2
Create the base symbol using either of these methods:
• Copy (and modify) an existing base part.
• Create the base part from scratch.
Refer to your MicroSim Schematics User’s Guide for
instructions.
Note
When you are creatin
new symbols, MicroSim
recommends that you save
the symbols to a library other
than those provided by
MicroSim. This way, you’ll
avoid losin
custom symbols
when you next install a
MicroSim pro
ram update.
Here are a few thin
s to keep in
mind:
• If you need to create new
symbols with different
raphics, you can add more
than one base symbol to the
same custom symbol library.
• If you need to add symbols
over the course of several
editin
sessions, you can
open your custom symbol
library usin
Open from the
File menu and proceed to add
new base and AKO symbols
as described in this
procedure.
• AKO symbols must reside in
the same symbol library as
the base symbols they
reference.
