Working with Parts
The following sections explain how to work with parts as you create and
edit designs. It covers the ways that you can place parts on the board, as
well as the tools included to help you with part location and placement. It
also includes information on Ultiboard’s parts database, and editing the
parts in the database and on the board.
Some of the described features may not be available in your edition of
Ultiboard. Refer to the NI Circuit Design Suite Release Notes for a list of
the features in your edition.
Placing Parts
You can place parts on the design:
• by dragging them from outside the board outline. Refer to the
Dragging Parts from Outside the Board Outline section for more
information.
• by using the Spreadsheet View. Refer to the Using the Parts Tab in
the Spreadsheet View section for more information.
• by importing a netlist. Refer to the Creating a Design from a Netlist
File section of Chapter 2, Beginning a Design, for more information.
• by selecting parts from the database. Refer to the Placing Parts from
the Database section for more information.
Note Before placing a part, make sure that you are on the layer where the part is to be
placed. Refer to the Accessing Layers section of Chapter 3, Setting Up a Design, for more
information.
Dragging Parts from Outside the Board Outline
By default, parts are placed outside the board outline when you open a
netlist from Multisim or another schematic capture program. These can be
dragged to the appropriate location on the board.
