Other Enhancements:
2015 Multiple Insert dialog box:
• Child components linked directly to the parent with the dashed link line are filtered out of the cross-
referencing on the parent component.

component. Each button opens the Ratings default file so you can select a value to assign to the attribute.
• The Insert\Edit Component dialog box opens when you insert a parametric connector so you can further
annotate the connector.
• The Copy Circuit command defaults to selecting multiple insertion points for creating multiple copies on the
same drawing.
• A new Circuit Builder API is available to link components within a circuit with a dashed link line.
• The Export to Spreadsheet now freshens the database automatically before performing the export.
• A new check box on Terminal Strip Editor lets you save the internal and external device assignments.
