Select Part Number Dialog
Used to assign a part number to a symbol when it is created or placed.
Accessed when:
- You select the Search button form the Device Properties dialog when placing a symbol to assign a part number.
- Right-click on a symbol and select Part Number from the menu.
The parts database allows Promis.e users to assign part numbers to device IDs in the project. This allows the system to generate Bills of Material and other informative lists based on the items in the schematics and the information in the database.
Part numbers are assigned to device IDs within a given project. They are not automatically assigned to the same symbols in a new project unless you copy part of an existing project with part numbers assigned.
Part numbers can be assigned to parent or child symbols. All part numbers are associated with the device family so that you can edit them from any parent or child symbol associated with that device family.
