Elements of a project – such as schematics, logs, or waveforms – can be deleted, renamed, copied, and managed in other ways.

Creating new elements​

New elements are created via the buttons in the Workspace view toolbar. You can create schematics, libraries, symbols, and local components in this way.

Result folders of a project and the elements in them are created by running a simulation; they cannot be created manually. This applies to waveforms, netlists, and log files.

Deleting elements​

Elements are deleted by right-clicking them and choosing

Remove

from the context menu.

It is not possible to delete individual elements of a result folder, but the result folder can be deleted as a whole.

Renaming elements​

To rename an element, right-click it and choose

Rename

from the context menu. This opens the

New Name for Object

dialog:



Enter the desired name and click

OK

. Make sure not to change the filename extension when you rename an object.

You can rename schematics, libraries, symbols, and local components in this way. Result folders and their contents cannot be renamed.

Copying elements​

To copy an element to another project, right-click the object and choose

Copy

from the context menu. This opens the

Copy File

dialog:



Choose the project to which you want to copy the element from the

Target Project

list and click

OK

. If you choose the same project from which you copying, the element is duplicated in its project.

Instead of right-clicking, you can also drag the element to the desired project. This opens the

Copy File

dialog with the target project already selected.

To copy multiple elements in one step, you can drag one project folder on top of another. This opens the

Copy Project

dialog:



Check the project elements that you want to copy to the target project, uncheck the elements that you do not want to copy, and click

OK

. All checked elements are copied.

Duplicating an element​

A element can be duplicated by copying it to the project in which it is contained. See the description of copying element, above, for details.

Accessing the file of an element​

If you want to access the file of an element, for example, for copying it to a different system or opening it with an external tool, you can do so by right-clicking it and choosing Show in File Explorer from the context menu. That opens the folder on disk that contains the file.
