  • Add a new library file to your project 

Vertical 2:

  • Copy library parts and paste them into a new design library

  • Rename and edit a library part

  • Create a new part and add it to your design library

Vertical 3:

  • Add a library to your Capture project

  • Place a title block, components, ground and power on a schematic page

  • Search for parts in the default Capture libraries

  • Place a part from the Unified Search (New in 17.4)

Vertical 4:

  • Connect components to wires

  • Select and move groups of wired components

  • Connect a bus to components and nets

Vertical 5:

  • Place net aliases

  • Add a new net alias to multiple nets and buses


Vertical 6:

  • Edit component values and display information on the schematic

  • Add PCB footprints to your design

Vertical  7:

  • Edit reference designator text

  • Automatically update schematic annotation

Vertical 8:

  • Define differential pairs both manually and automatically

Vertical 9:

  • Configure and run a design rule check (DRC)

  • Correct violations

Vertical 10:
