Dialog Edit plug

All the display settings and data for a plug you have selected are displayed in this dialog. These settings are stored in a scheme. If the plug consists of several plug definitions (for example in the case of separate representation of male and female pins) you do not edit the entire plug in this dialog, but only the plug definition currently selected.

If the plug contains pins consisting of a male and a female pin, then for each male / female pin pair there will be two lines displayed, and the connection between the two will be shown graphically. You can number pins via the popup menu. In addition to the properties of the pins the properties of the connected connections can also be displayed.

Note:

If this dialog is called up from a selected male pin, the fields for male pins in the table can be edited. If this dialog is called up from a selected female pin, the fields for female pins in the table can be edited. The graphic in the Connection column illustrates this behavior and shows which side of the plug the male or female pins are located.
