Symbols can be copied from the schematic editor into a schematic library, copied between schematic libraries, or created from scratch using the Schematic Symbol Generation Tool or drawing tools. This document outlines the creation and management of schematic libraries ( *.SchLib). To learn more about creating a component symbol itself, refer to the Creating a Schematic Symbol page.


The real-world component that gets mounted on the board is represented as a schematic symbol during design capture, and as a PCB footprint for board design.
