Symbol Management

Use the Symbol Management menu to manage symbol data imported from the ECAD library.

The symbol data is used to generate UPF library when registering parts in UPMS.

  1. Search data symbols.
    1. Use the search all function to search parts with some of the information in part properties as a keyword.
      • TEST* (Search for strings starting with TEST)
      • *TEST* (Search for strings containing TEST)
      • *TEST (Search string ending with TEST)
    2. Use the advanced search function to conduct a detail search by the value of each property.
      Note: Detailed search finds parts that satisfy all entry values entered with the And condition.
  2. Create a new symbol data.
