3.7. Component Properties dialog for a library component

Select a component from the Components list and right-click and select Properties from the context menu to display the properties for the selected component. You can also select a component and then select Object Properties from the Object menu.

Note

If a component is not selected, selecting Properties from the context menu or Object Properties from the Object menu displays the properties for the entire model. See Component Model Properties dialog for system.

The General tab shown in Figure 3.16 displays the following:

Component name: The name of the component.
Type: The component category as, for example, Core or Peripheral.
Version: The revision number for the component.
File: The file that defines the component.
Note
On Windows, the direction of the slash characters separating directories appears to be reversed. You can enter slash characters in either direction but they get displayed as / in all cases. This does not affect operation.
Repository: The repository that contains the reference to the file path.
Description: Descriptive information that was added when the component was added to the project.
