Categories Overview

Standard components and functions are categorized in logical groups. The following groups are delivered with Graphics Editor:

• Basic Controls: Control and sensor devices and buttons of different kinds
• DIN Symbols (EN): English standard ISO symbols
• ISO Symbols: Standard ISO symbols
• My Components: An empty folder where you can save components you want to make available for reuse
• Basic Functions: Functions of different kinds
• My Snippets: An empty folder where you can save functions you want to make available for reuse

NOTE: The categories listed previous are read-only, and cannot be deleted.

The different categories are displayed as bars in the Components and Snippets panes. You can hide unused categories.

You can display hidden categories, or categories that reside in other libraries, in the Components pane.

You can store categories of components in other libraries. To make new libraries accessible from the Components pane, you have to add them to the list of available libraries.

When you import or export categories of components, or create new categories, the default library is used. You can set any components library folder as the default library.
