SaveSymbol Command

/comp

Saves symbol as a component to path symbol-name .

/file

Symbol saved to specified library file. This is ignored if /comp is specified. If a full path is not supplied, the path will be relative to the SymbolLibs directory.

/flags

If flags=1, symbol is saved with tracking enabled. This forces all instances of the symbol to always be loaded from the global symbol library rather than from the local schematic. This is the action of the "All references to symbol automatically updated" check box in the symbol editor's File > Save... dialog box.

/lib

Use specified library symbol as source instead of the symbol editor. lib-symbol-name must be the internal name for a symbol in an installed library.

symbol-name

Name of symbol. This is known as the 'internal name' in the user interface. This is the name that the software uses to identify the symbol. It is stored in schematic files and it is used for a number of script functions and commands, for example the command Inst to place a symbol uses this name. This name may not contain spaces or special characters and cannot be changed once the symbol is created.

symbol-description

Symbol description. This is the name that is displayed in the dialog opened with Place > From Symbol Library... . Unlike the symbol-name (above) it has no naming restrictions and can be changed at any time without affecting any existing instances of the symbol.

catalog

Symbol catalog. This determines how the symbol is categorised in Place > From Symbol Library... . This may be a list of strings separated by semi-colons, each identifying a node in the tree list display shown in the place symbol dialog box.
