The Convert component into graphic action gives you the option to turn a component into a graphical object without logic information. This functionality can be used, for instance, to graphically represent internal circuits in black boxes.
A component converted into a graphic is not included in the reports and cannot be converted back into a functional device. (This is in contrast to a graphical component, defined using the "Graphic" representation type.)
Precondition:
You have opened a page in the graphical editor. You have inserted a symbol.
Note:
When you insert symbols in the symbol editor, the form editor or the plot frame editor, they are automatically converted into graphical objects.
- Highlight the component.
- Select the Edit > Other > Convert component into graphic menu items.
The component is converted into a graphical object. All the logic information is lost. - Select the Edit > Other > Ungroup menu items, if you want to edit the individual graphical elements of the object.
