The INVOKE command is used to select a particular gate from a device which is already in use and place it in the schematic (e.g. a power symbol with Addlevel = Request).

Gates are activated in the following way:

• Enter the part name (e.g. IC5) and select the gate from the popup menu which appears.
• Define device and gate name from the keyboard (e.g. INVOKE IC5 POWER).
• Select an existing gate from the device with the mouse and then select the desired gate from the popup menu which appears.

Gates on Different Sheets

If a gate from a device on a different sheet is to be added to the current sheet, the name of the gate has to be specified in the INVOKE command. In this case the right column of the popup menu shows the sheet number where the already used gates are placed. A gate placed on the current sheet is indicated by an asterisk.
