PlaceLibraryComponent
Description
The PlaceLibraryComponent places a schematic, PCB or Integrated Library component from a specified library onto a current document (SCH or PCB documents).
Parameters
Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
LibReference | String | Specifies the LibReference of the Symbol. |
Library | String | Specifies the path of the library. Can be just the filename, relative path to the filename or a full absolute path of the library. |
ModelType | String | Specifies the model type. If modeltype = Sim, then ModelParameterNameX and ModelParameterValueX (where X = 1..N) values have to be specified. |
ModelParameterName0 | String | Specifies the parameter name for the designated model. |
ModelParameterValue0 | String | Specifies the parameter value for the designated model. |
Orientation | 0..3 | Specifies the orientation of the library component. 0 = 0 degrees, 1 = 90 degrees, 2 = 180 degrees and 3 = 270 degrees. |
