Editing and Displaying Part Placement Properties

In the Display of part placement properties, the following point should be noted: Individually placed properties can be docked with each other and made into a single block; when moving, this allows all the (desired) text to be moved at once and avoids overlapping of multi-line text with other text.

Preconditions:

  1. In the Part placement tab, click [...] in the Displayed DT field.
  2. In the DT selection dialog, select the DT that is to be displayed on the part placement in the graphical editor.
  3. Click [OK].

    The DT is entered into the Displayed DT field.
  4. Click [...] in the Part field to allocate a part to the part placement.
  5. In the Part selection dialog, select the desired part.
  6. Click [OK].

    The part number is entered into the Part field.
  7. Edit the part placement properties by entering a string of characters into the Value field, selecting a value from a drop-down list, etc.
  8. Click (New) on the toolbar above the property list.
  9. In the Property selection dialog, select further properities that you would like to set. (Multiple selection is possible.)
  10. Click [OK].

    The properties are appended to the end of the list in the Property name column.
  11. Allocate the desired values to the new properties.
  12. Select the properties that you no longer require. (Multiple selection is possible.)
  13. Click (Delete) on the toolbar above the property list.

    The properties are deleted from the list, i.e., without the values that you previously allocated in the Property selection dialog, so that they may be re-allocated, if needed.
  14. Change to the Display tab.
  15. From the Property arrangement drop-down list, select the User defined entry to define your own display layout.
  16. In the list of properties, select the property for which you would like to define the display settings.

    The default values for the individual fields are taken from the Standard defaults.
  17. Define the display settings in the fields.
  18. Change to the Format tab.
  19. Define the formatting settings for the part placement by selecting entries from the drop-down list, selecting / deselecting check boxes, etc.
  20. Click [OK].

The properties display is updated.

Note:

Every device can contain several part references with different quantity values. However, a part reference can only be placed with a quantity of "1". This means that several part placements with the same device tags may be placed on a mounting area.
