Tips
- The entities returned - Components or Footprints - depends on the chosen scope, defined using the Search in field in the Libraries Search dialog.
- When searching components, all SchLib and IntLib libraries - available, or along a defined search path - will be interrogated. When searching footprints, all PcbLib and IntLib libraries will be interrogated.
- All results are listed in the Query Results listing, back in the Libraries panel.
- For a schematic component, the name is checked against its Design Item ID property. For a PCB Footprint, the name is checked against its Footprint property.
