SIMPLORER 6.0 — Manual 499
Every component in a model library has at least one symbol, which is displayed, when the
component is dropped on the Schematic sheet. Component symbols are language dependent,
that means, each language can provide its specify symbol.
With the Symbol Editor you can modify existing component symbols, such as the default symbol
of a user-defined macro or the symbol of a SIMPLORER default component. Double-click
the Symbol Editor symbol or choose PROGRAMS>SYMBOL EDITOR to start the Symbol Editor
in the SSC Commander.
Along with the graphic properties you can also define optional features, such as switch areas
and conditions for symbol changes during a simulation process.

Starting the Symbol Editor
You can start the Symbol Editor in the Schematic or the Model Agent only for an existing
model, such as an internal component or macro. The «Edit Symbol…» command on the shortcut
menu of a component starts the Symbol Editor together with the selected model. For a selected
model, the Symbol Editor can also be opened in the Model Agent with the menu
command ELEMENTS>EDIT SYMBOL.
