Parametric Shape Library

The parametric shape library is a simple library of shapes without any electrical functions. For some shape it is more simple to create it by entering some parameter than to manual design its layout. This kind of design is called parametric layout and a common selection of designs in shipped with the LayoutEditor in this Parametric Shape Library. Please see below for a list of available shapes.

Each shape consists of a symbol used with the schematic, a parameter definition and a LayoutEditor macro, which will create a layout from the entered parameters. Symbol and parameter definition is store in the LayoutEditorLibrary format and included any every package of the LayoutEditor. No installation is required to use it. Just choose the shape library from the Components window in the SchematicEditor and place the parametric shape you need.
