`PCBSource`

A solution PCB source.

Example

application = cf.Application.getInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

    -- Create a 'PCBSource' from PCBCurrentData

PCBCurrentData = project.Definitions.FieldDataList:AddPCBCurrentData([[PCBCurrentData.rei]])
PCBSource = project.Contents.SolutionConfigurations.GlobalSources:AddPCBSource(PCBCurrentData)

    -- Delete this 'PCBSource'
PCBSource:Delete()

Inheritance
