Extra: Settings Components as Unmounted

This page explains how to specify components as unmounted. The mounted or unmounted state of a component can be toggled when creating components or after placing them on a design sheet. Specifying components as non-populated allows you to exclude the components when you export BOM files. In addition, non-populated components are displayed with no mount marks, and this enables you to easily identify which component is unpopulated while designing schematics.
