• Grid Size – set the measured distance between each sheet grid line. Each tenth grid is rendered as a thicker line.
• Show Grid – check to display grid lines in the document sheet(s). Note that the Snap to Grid function is disabled when the grid is not displayed.
  • Snapping – when unchecked, all snapping is disabled.
    • Snap to Grid – when checked, the ghost/preview cursor will snap (jump) to grid line intersections while the editor is in object placement mode.
    • Snap to Vertices – when checked, the preview cursor will snap to an angle corner (vertex) of an object while the editor is in object placement mode. A vertex is highlighted with an orange-colored dot when the ghost cursor has snapped to it.
    • Snap to Boundaries – when checked, the preview cursor will snap to an object perimeter line (or an extension of that edge) while the editor is in object placement mode. Object perimeter extensions are displayed as a fine dashed line.
    • Snap to Line centers – when checked, the preview cursor will snap to the mid point of an object perimeter line while the editor is in object placement mode. A line mid-point is highlighted with an orange-colored dot when the ghost cursor has snapped to it.
    • Snap to Circle centers – when checked, the preview cursor will snap to the radius center of a Circle object while the editor is in object placement mode. A circle center point is highlighted with an orange-colored dot when the ghost cursor has snapped to it.
   ► See Snap behavior.
• Snapping Distance – set the distance at which the preview cursor will snap on to elements specified as snap targets.
• Document Font – set the base font style and any additional attributes used in document sheet(s). This defines the document-level font that is applied to drawing objects, such as the Title of an Assembly View. In the Properties panel mode for that object, deselect the Use Document Font option to override the font setting.
• Sheet Border – set the zone border line and character color for the document sheet(s).
• Sheet Color – set the background color for the document sheet(s).

• Pattern – previews and sets the fill pattern and color that will be applied to rendered components that are defined as not-fitted in the currently selected board Variant. Use the associated color buttons () to specify colors for the fill and/or hatch pattern, and the button to set the fill pattern attributes in the drop-down options menu.
  • Pattern – the graphic pattern for the component variant fill. Select Solid fill or an ANSI pattern from the drop-down menu.
  • Scale – the relative line spacing of the applied ANSI hatch pattern.
  • Rotation – the angle of the ANSI hatching lines, where a value of 0 is equivalent to 45°.
  • Hatch Thickness – the line weight of the ANSI pattern lines.

• PCB Document – set the board design that is used as the data source for the Draftsman document. Use the drop-down menu to choose from the available PCB documents in the current project.

• Top Assembly Layer – specify a mechanical layer that has been used to define the geometry for board components mounted on the top layer. This is an alternative component geometry source that is enabled when the Assembly drawing option has been selected for a component's geometry. See the Component Display Properties section in the Board Assembly View page for more information.
• Bottom Assembly Layer – specify a mechanical layer that has been used to define the geometry for board components mounted on the bottom layer. This is an alternative component geometry source that is enabled when the Assembly drawing option has been selected for a component's geometry.
• Scale – set the size of newly placed full board views (such as Assembly, Fabrication and Drill Drawing Views) in the current document.

• Dash Pattern – the line/spacing definitions for the dashed line options in units of 0.02mm (when in metric mode). For example, a pattern Value of 20,10,20 defines a repeating 0.4mm, 0.2mm and 0.4mm dash arrangement, with a cycle length of 1mm (50 units). A custom dashed line option can be created using the button and removed with the button.
• Line Thickness – the weight or thickness of the available Line style options. Use the Reset button to restore the default values

• Units – set the document primary measurement unit type.
• Dual Units – set the document secondary (dual) measurement unit type. The additional dual units are enabled for a drawing object in its Default Preferences or for a placed object in its related Properties panel mode.
• Decimal Separators – select the character to be used as the decimal separator from the drop-down menu.

Primary Units

• Value Precision – set the standard measurement precision accuracy definition (number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point, with the last digit rounded) for drawing documents.
• Tolerance Precision – set the precision accuracy definition (number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point, with the last digit rounded) for the measurement tolerance, where enabled. The tolerance display for a selected measurement (such as a Linear Dimension) can be enabled in the Draftsman Properties panel by choosing a Tolerance Type option in the panel's Tolerance section.

Dual Units

• Value Precision – set the dual unit measurement precision accuracy definition (number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point, with the last digit rounded) for drawing documents.
• Tolerance Precision – set the precision accuracy definition (number of significant digits to the right of the decimal point, with the last digit rounded) for the dual unit measurement tolerance, where enabled.

Presents a tabular list view of the available Parameters in the current document.

• Parameter filter selections – check the filter boxes (, , ) to set the range of parameter entries shown in the list. The Project, System and PCB parameter entries are read-only, while any added Custom Parameters (see Add/Delete, below) are editable and always included in the list.
• Add/Delete – use the and buttons to create or delete your own Custom Parameters.

Changes in the Page Options settings can be applied to the currently active sheet or to all sheets in a Draftsman document. Select the  button at the top of the Properties panel to apply changed property settings to the current sheet, or the  button to apply changes to all document sheets.

• Current page – select and view the drawing page (sheet) for the Page Options settings. By default, any change made to an option will apply to all document sheets. Use the button as outlined above to constrain a change to the current page.

Formatting and Size

• Template mode – set the page size and format by selecting from a range of predefined Draftsman sheet templates. The list includes templates found in the location specified in the Draftsman - Templates page of the Preferences dialog. Note that a default template to be used for new Draftsman documents may be defined on the System - New Document Defaults page of the Preferences dialog.
  • Template – use the drop-down menu to select from a list of standardized page templates, and if required, use the  button to reload the template list.
  • Width/Height – the dimensions of the current page size shown in the current document units (see the Units section above).
  • Width/Height – the dimensions of the current page size shown in the current document units (see the Units section above).
  • Source – use the browse button () to navigate to and select an alternative template source in the Draftsman *.DwsDot format.
• Standard mode – set the sheet size to a standard page format.
  • Sheet Size – use the drop-down menu to select from a list of standard page dimensions.
  • Width/Height – the dimensions of the current page size in the current document units.
• Custom mode – set the sheet size to specified custom dimensions.
  • Width – enter the required sheet width measurement.
  • Height – enter the required sheet height measurement.

Margin and Zones

Defines the size of the sheet border graphics and its zone divisions. Uncheck the Show Zones box to hide the zone divisions in the border graphics.

• Vertical – set the number of divisions (rows) in the vertical sheet margin. The alpha-numeric zone labeling type is defined by the Origin and Letter Position settings in the panel's General section.
• Horizontal – set the number of divisions (columns) in the horizontal sheet margin. The zone labeling type (A,B,C... or 1,2,3...) is defined in the panel's General section.
• Margin – set the distance (in the current units) between the page edge and each of the four border lines.
• Origin – sets which corner of the document sheet(s) the perimeter zone alpha-numeric indicators will begin from (zone position A-1 or 1-A).
• Letter Position – set where the letter zone indicators are placed on the document sheet(s): in the horizontal perimeter zones (columns) or the vertical zones (rows). Check the Iterate Columns Across Sheets option for the alpha-numeric indicators assigned to columns to sequentially increment through the document sheets (rather than starting at A or 1 on each sheet).
