Each component placed on the workspace has a set of properties that control certain aspects of it beyond those stored in the Multisim database. These properties affect only the placed component, not other instances of that component in other designs or other locations in the current design.

Depending on the type of component, these properties determine some or all of the following:

  • the identifying information and labels about the placed component to be displayed on the workspace.
  • the model of the placed component.
  • for some components, how the placed component will be used in analyses.
  • the faults to be used for the placed component.
  • the component's value or model and package.
  • user fields.
