The Create Cell Button: Create Symbol
This command will create a new cell from the currently selected
objects. The user is prompted for a name for the new cell. The new
cell is created in memory, and should be saved to disk if future use
is intended. It is marked as ``modified'' so the user will be given
the chance to save it when exiting Xic.
The !sqdump function is similar, but writes a native file to
disk and does not create a cell in memory.
In electrical mode, note that the new symbol is not a subcircuit. It
must be edited and connection points added (with the subct
command) before it can be used in another circuit.
The user is given the option to replace the selected objects with
an instance of the new cell.
By default, an attempt to overwrite a cell already in memory will
fail. If the CrsymOverwrite variable is set, existing cells in
memory can be overwritten (use this with care).
