Virtual component problem in Multisim 11

Hello all,

 

I am a Multisim beginner.  I have a 3PDT switch in my circuit and when I try to Transfer to Utilboard it gives me an error message that this component will not be transfer because it is a virtual component.  What does this mean and how do I solve this problem?

 

Thanks,

Hi Eth,

It means that there is no footprint assigned to this component.You should either replace it with a component that already has a footprint or make a footprint for that according to the datasheet.

Here you can find a great tutorial that helps you assign a footprint to a virtual component.

Tell me if you still had any problems with that.
