Options/Controls

Drawings

Use these controls to configure the following objects' inclusion in the printed outputs:

• No-ERC Markers with Symbols - disable/uncheck to exclude all No ERC markers from generated prints; enable/check to include No ERC markers. When this option is enabled, the sub-options are used to fine-tune the types of No ERC markers to be included in relation to their displayed symbol types: Thin Cross, Thick Cross, Small Cross, Checkbox, and Triangle.
• Parameter Sets - check to include parameter sets in the printout.
• Probes - check to include probes in the printout.
• Blankets - check to include blankets in the printout.
• Notes: - disable this option to exclude all note objects from generated prints; enable to include note objects. When this option is enabled, use Include collapsed notes to control whether all notes are drawn (enabled/checked) or only those notes that are fully expanded (disabled/unchecked).

Physical Name Expansion

Use the controls in this region to determine where the physical name expansion occurs. Choose from:

• Entire Sheet - on the entire schematic sheet.
• Specific Area - with this option enabled, the following controls become available:
  • Lower Left Corner X/Y - use these fields to define the X and Y coordinates of the bottom-left corner.
  • Upper Right Corner X/Y - use these fields to define the X and Y coordinates of the top-right corner.
  • Define - click to define the required area directly in the workspace. A crosshair will appear in the workspace; click to define the two diagonally-opposite corners of the area. After defining the two corners, the dialog reappears with the coordinates of your chosen locations filled into the respective fields.
