Configuring Schematic Round Rectangle Object Properties in Altium Designer

 

Parent page: Round Rectangle

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 two different ways:

  • Pre-placement settings – most Round Rectangle object properties, or those that can logically be pre-defined, are available as editable default settings on the Schematic - Defaults page of the Preferences dialog (access from the  button at the top-right of the workspace). Select the object in the Primitive List to reveal its options on the right.
  • Post-placement settings – all Round Rectangle object properties are available for editing in the Properties panel when a placed Round Rectangle is selected in the workspace.
