![]() ![]() Place a new part and hold over an existing component. Hit insert when they overlap to copy text field between object types. If you do this with components, it'll pick up the component under the cursor and the component you have hanging off your cursor will become a duplicate of the one beneath it. A much easier way to duplicate the text in one thing, and transfer it into another. ![]() If you have a net label in schematic and you've name it Foo as seen in the example, and then you want to create a port with the same name.you can either edit the port and type "Foo" like the noobs do, or you can hold the port over the net label, hit "Insert" and the name of the coincident net label will be transferred to the port without you having to (mis)type it. 'Insert' key copies properties from coincident objects technolomaniac.It'll increment the designator for you (you'll be on the hook to make sure you don't end up with duplicate designators).Ĭan't emphasize this enough.This is a massive time saver! Then follow it up with the mighty Shift + Drag to duplicate it. Instead, find and existing one and click it. So take a case where you would otherwise have to go back to the Libraries panel and find that totally common 0.1uF 0603 cap you're already using in 5 different places in schematic. ![]() Voila, two more, perfect 100 unit long wires. Select the first two (draw a bounding box or use Shift + Select to multi-select the wires) and hold Shift and Drag. Now you decide that you really wanted 4 wires. You're proud of yourself because this is exactly what you wanted and you did it! Woohoo! If you want another, simply hold Shift and drag on top of the wire and it'll duplicate it. ![]() So you have placed a wire in schematic that is exactly 100 units wide. ![]()
