Creating Reuse Modules |
Top Previous Next |
Reuse Modules enable you to save design and part information for reuse in a subsequent design. This reduces work when a portion of a design is duplicated across multiple designs. Additionally, BOMs that are created for designs that use the Reuse Modules feature, may include the Reuse Module's respective parts and labels. The following instructions describe how to create and place Reuse Modules. To create a Reuse Module from the Component menu 1.Open the design you want to use from Capture CIS. 2.With the design open, select the Components > Reuse Modules menu items.
![]() Select Reuse Modules 3.Click the Reuse Module > New button ![]() Open Blank Form
4.Enter information into the blank Reuse Module form. Required information includes a minimum of Part Number and Revision. It is also recommended you enter a Description. 5.Click the Add button ![]() Assign Part_Number 6.To add the design and parts to your Reuse Module Part Number, in the Reuse Module Items section of your screen, click the Create Reuse Module From Design ![]() Create Reuse Module from Open Design The Reuse Module pop up dialog box opens. 7.Select the open design from which you want to create the Reuse Module. Your selection populates the Design file field. You must annotate your design to ensure there are no duplicate reference designators before creating the Reuse Module in CIP. 8.Select the library to add your reuse design symbol by using the Select Library drop-arrow and browse to select a library location. ![]() Select Your Source Design
9.Select the Add BOM_IGNORE=TRUE property to Reuse module checkbox if you want to add the property BOM_IGNORE=TRUE to the created Reuse Module. CIS Part Manager excludes Reuse Modules that have the property BOM_IGNORE=TRUE. 10. Click the Generate Part button to create your new Reuse Module. To Place a Reuse Module You can place your Reuse Module into an open design by clicking the Place button ![]() Place Reuse Module When you are finished placing, press the Esc key on your keyboard to stop placement. ![]() Place Your Reuse Module into Your Schematic Design
When you have multiple reuse modules and click the Place button ![]() Preview and Select an Alternate Reuse Module for Placement
