How to Quickly Increment the Name of a Component
Fundamentals
The naming attributes of symbols can be incremented quickly in the Elecdes drawing session.
There are two functions for incrementing two types of naming attributes, as detailed below. Each execution of either increment function will increase the attribute by one step.
Incrementation is specified for each attribute in the Naming Sequencer.
