Schematic User Interface Elements in CircuitMaker

Created: July 30, 2020 | Updated: February 11, 2022

What are SCH & SCHLIB Editor UI Elements?

SCH & SCHLIB Editor UI elements are ribbons and commands that are accessible when working in the schematic and schematic library editors. 

For ribbon commands that are specific to other editors (PCB, PCBLIB, Layer Stack, Component, etc.,), refer to those editors using the documentation navigation tree.

For ribbon commands that are general in nature (e.g., panel access, saving projects, printing, etc.,), refer to Common UI Elements.
