In designworks, parts are organized by libraries of similar parts. The library that we will use the most is the primgate libary. To see what library is currently selected or to change libraries look at the parts window. To place a part into design works, double click on the part in the parts window and move the cursor over the design area. An outline of the part should appear and to place the part, left-click the mouse, after placeing a part, the outline will remain allowing you to place more of the same part. Below I have shown some basic parts and briefly describled how they work.

NAME: LIBRARY: PICTURE: DESCRIPTION:
AND-2 PrimGate Simple two input and gate.
NAND-2 PrimGate Two input nand gate
NOR-2 PrimGate Two input nor gate.
OR-2 PrimGate Two input or gate.
NOT PrimGate Not gate.
XOR-2 PrimGate Xor gate.
XNOR-2 PrimGate Xnor gate.
Binary Probe PrimIo View the value on a wire.
Binary Switch PrimIo Select between 1 and 0 on a wire
Hex Keyboard PrimIo Used to specify vaules on 4 wires at once.
Hex Display PrimIo Used to view the values of four wires.
Clock PrimIo A clock to be used in clocked circuits
Port In Pseudo Used for creation of blocks.
Port Out Pseudo Used for creation of blocks.
