• If found, the model editor opens the library containing the
instance model and displays the instance model definition in
the edit area.
• If not found, the model editor assumes that this is a new
instance model and does the following: makes a copy of the
original model definition, names it original_model_name-
Xn, and displays the new model definition
.

When you save your edits, the following is done for you to make
sure the instance model is linked to the selected part instances
on your schematic:
• The model editor saves the model definition to
schematic_name.lib.
• If the library is new, the model editor configures
schematic_name.lib for local use.
• The schematic editor assigns the new model name to the
MODEL attribute for each of the selected part instances.
