The dynamic components provides the means of observing/manipulating
components that are hidden in a sub-circuit on a higher level. Example:
You have placed a led in a circuit named MyNiceCircuit.
Now you use MyNiceCircuit as sub-circuit in the circuit
named MyToplevel. Simulating in MyToplevel
will hide your led, hence you have no means to see if the led in MyNiceCircuit
is lighting up or not. The dynamic components help here by providing the
possibility of putting an image of the led on the sub-circuit symbol of MyNiceCircuit.
To add dynamic components to the sub-circuit symbol of MyNiceCircuit,
you have first to open the appearance editor
of the circuit MyNiceCircuit. Than you click on the 
-tool
icon. A window will open listing all the available dynamic components, and
you can select which one to show in the appearance of your sub-circuit
symbol. Note that the dynamic components feature is a recursive property.
This means that if you have a hierarchical structure, it will show all
possible dynamic components available down from the current sub-circuit.
