Configuring Schematic Elliptical Arc Object Properties in Altium Designer

Parent page: Elliptical Arc

Schematic Editor object properties are definable options that specify the visual style, content and behavior of the placed object. The property settings for each type of object are defined in the following way.

• Post-placement settings – all Elliptical Arc object properties are available for editing in the Elliptical Arc dialog and the Properties panel when a placed Elliptical Arc is selected in the workspace.

Location (Properties panel only)

• (X/Y)
  • X (first field) - the current X (horizontal) coordinate of the reference point of the arc, relative to the current workspace origin. Edit to change the X position of the arc. The value can be entered in either metric or imperial; include the units when entering a value whose units are not the current default. 
  • Y (second field) - The current Y (vertical) coordinate of the reference point of the arc, relative to the current origin. Edit to change the Y position of the arc. The value can be entered in either metric or imperial; include the units when entering a value whose units are not the current default. 

Properties

• Width - use the drop-down to select the desired width. Choices are: Smallest, Small, Medium, and Large. Click the color box to select the desired color for the arc.

• Y-Radius - the y-radius of the elliptical arc, which may be edited.
