Summary

Use this command to place the focused PCB 2D/3D component model from the active PCB Library document onto the last-active PCB document.

Details

In the PCB Library editor, run the Home | Board | Place Component in PCB command to place the focused component (the one currently being looked at) onto the last active PCB.

When the command is launched, the last active PCB will present as the current document in CircuitStudio then the Place Component dialog will open. Configure the dialog as required then click OK to place the new component.

This command will place a new instance of the current PCB Library component. If you have updated an existing component and need to refresh it on the PCB, use the Update PCB With <FocusedComponent> command available in the PCB Library panel right-click menu.
