The shortcut command «Remove Element»
removes the selected symbol from
the template. The preview of symbols in
the template is standardized, so the real
size is visible only on the symbol sheet.
In addition to the graphic elements and pins, you can include animation and interactions in
a symbol. Animations embedded in a symbol change the symbol layout during the simulation
process, depending on the value of a system quantity. To display the states with animated
symbols, select the «Use Animated Symbols» option in the SHEET>PROPERTIES «System»
menu.
Using interactions you can change component properties (parameter values) of components
placed on the Schematic sheet by clicking an interaction button.

An Animated symbol changes shape during the simulation process, depending on parameter
values (voltage, current, speed). For each control quantity used an upper and lower limit is defined,
within certain symbol levels are displayed. The command DRAW>ANIMATION creates a
new animation feature for a symbol. In the figure below the definition for an internal SIM-
PLORER component is explained.
To use animated symbols in the Schematic, select the option � «Animated Symbols» in
SHEET>PROPERTIES «System».
