Main content
To add a fuse:
Select the fuse holder/terminal/switch (from the tree view, parts list, or by double-clicking on its symbol)
Go to the Create/Add tab and select New fuse
You may have to scroll down to see the fuse that was added (or go to the Show tab and select Accessories)
Explore the properties of the fuse, enter the details (part number is the most important), select the fuse and choose Save to save it to your catalogue for future use, as you would for any other component
Selecting a fuse holder/terminal/switch which contains a fuse and saving it to catalogue, will save the fuse holder/terminal/switch including the fuse, so that next time that fuse holder/terminal/switch is assigned from catalogue, the fuse(s) will automatically be included
If you’ve entered a value in the Current property of the fuse, it will display near the fuse holder or fuse terminal
Fuse terminals shown in terminal strip layouts, will have an F if they have a fuse in it
