Working with Larger Designs
6-12 Electronics Workbench
component’s reference designator (RefDes), as in the example “V1”. If the component is
not on the main sheet, the sheet on which it is located also shows, as in the example
“X3.R1”. This indicates that R1 is found on the subcircuit referenced by X3.
•
RefDes — The reference designator of the component as it appears on the workspace.
•
Section — The section of a multi-section component.
•
Locked — “Yes” indicates that the component will not be changed by either a Renumber
or an
Optimize command.
To renumber the components in a circuit:
1. Select
Tools/Rename/Renumber Components.
2. Click
Renumber.
3. Click
OK to close the dialog box and accept the changes.
To optimize the circuit so that multi-section components are used as efficiently as possible:
1. Select
Tools/Rename/Renumber Components.
2. Click
Optimize Gates.
Resistors in
subcircuit X1
Resistors in
subcircuit X2
RefDes’s in X2 have change to follow
sequence (R1 through R5)
