The New Component as X-Reference command enables you to create a new component and transform it into an X-Reference component.
The command corresponds to the New Component and Make X-Reference commands, carried out in a single step.
The command is available exclusively from context menus and can be applied to one or more entities selected with the ordinary pre-selection modalities.
Once you've selected the item(s), right-click and select Insert
New Component as X-Reference from the context menu. A file selection box is displayed, from where you can save the component. A component name is proposed. You can accept it or type a different name.

If the entities selected have dependencies linked with other entities not included in the selection, the program asks you how to deal with such outgoing links.
