Importing Symbols from Independent Libraries

PADS I/O Designer supports the use of symbols from independent libraries with the Import > Symbols from Independent Libraries menu selection.

This option opens a dialog from which you select the partition from which to import the symbol, and, once a partition is selected, lists the symbols for that partition. The list of partitions contains the independent libraries defined in PADS Designer.

Note
	If you want PADS I/O Designer to place the symbols on generated schematics as library symbols, you must import the symbols as “Read only”. If you import the symbols as anything other than “Read only,” PADS I/O Designer treats them as local symbols.
