Import a UCI

  2. Select the .uci file to import, and then click Open.

  3. From the User Control Interfaces section of the left-side pane, select the imported UCI.

  4. Link or remap the UCI's controls to schematic components, depending on the control type:

    • Toolbox controls – Controls that were added from the Toolbox will appear in the Layers tab with a icon. Follow the instructions in the "Link Controls" section above to link each control to a component control in your design.
