Description

[Picture]

A subcircuit block represents a circuit within another circuit. In order to create a subcircuit, copy the subcircuit block from the library into your schematic. You can then open the subcircuit block and copy components into the subcircuit's window.

The input, output, and electrical terminals on the block icon correspond to the input, output, and electrical port blocks in the subcircuit's schematic. If the block names are not hidden, they appear as terminal labels on the subcircuit block.

You can move unconnected terminals with the mouse around the edges of the subcircuit by holding down the Shift key or using the middle mouse button.

Dialog Box

You can create a dialog box for your Subcircuit by masking the block.
