If you have created sub-circuits in versions older than cadett ELSA R32 (before around 2012), you will probably be interested in importing them to the Symbol Insert Tool. A nice feature is available for that purpose and is described here.

 

The old TS sub-circuits were stored locally in the WS directory of each workstation. This means that the import of old sub-circuits must be made at each workstation, if multiple users have created and stored their own sub-circuits.

 

The procedure is described here, step by step:

 

1.A special button is used to activate the TS Sub-circuit Import Tool.

 

 

2.The TS Sub-circuit Import Tool activation button is showed in the figure above. Please note that if no un-imported TS sub-circuits exist in the current workstation directory, this button will be greyed out.

 

3.When you activate the Import tool by clicking the activation button, all un-imported sub-circuits will be shown, like in the figure below.

 

 

4.An additional button – the Import Button – will be displayed directly below the Import Tool Activation Button when the import tool is active.

 

5.Please select a Resource Category in which you want to place imported sub-circuits – all of them or some of them.

 

 

6.Then select the sub-circuits that you want to import to the selected Resource Category (Bill’s personal sub-circuit category 901 in the example above).
 

 

7.Finally click the Import Button (the button with a small blue arrow).
 

Please repeat this procedure for all sub-circuits that you want to import. You can select any number of sub-circuits for each Resource Category that you import to.
 

To check the result, please deactivate the Import Tool by clicking the Import Tool Activation Button again.
