You can use the command Convert in the Edit tab to turn a component into a graphical object without logic information. This functionality can be used, for instance, to graphically represent internal circuits in device 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 project. You have opened a project 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 following commands: Tab Edit > Command group Arrange >
Convert.
The component is converted into a graphical object. All the logic information is lost. - Select the following commands: Tab Edit > Command group Group > Ungroup if you want to edit the individual graphical elements of the object.
