Creating Components

This section explains how to create components. It includes the following tasks:
 

	Build graphic in a detail sheet
	Create new component
	Create connector on component
	Define pins on component
	Manage potential connection on terminal board
	Define a component group
	Associate component reference to graphic detail
	Create cable
	Store in catalog.

Prior to creating your first component, make sure the following options are properly set up:
the diagrams option and the working units and grid activity.

NOTE: Using the CATDUAV5 tool can result in some reference components being deleted from a catalog or document. See Storing Objects in a Catalog for more information.
