Exporting Cards and Chips

Subcircuits
...     Exporting Cards and Chips

Any circuit in a hierarchy can be exported as a card or chip. The following example shows an 8-bit adder built up with subcircuits halfadd, add1 (a full adder using 2 half-adders) and add4 (a 4-bit adder using 4 add1's).

To save, say, the 4-bit adder, select the add4 in the circuit window and right-click the entry. Select Export add4 as card (or Export add4 as chip). Cards and chips are saved in .cir and .chp files, respectively

Note: all subcircuits required by the exported circuit will be exported as well.
