Configuring Multi-board Schematic Arc Object Properties in Altium NEXUS

Parent page: Arc

Multi-board 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 Arc object properties, or those that can logically be pre-defined, are available as editable default settings on the Multi-board 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 Arc object properties are available for editing in the Properties panel when a placed Arc is selected in the workspace.

     The Arc object default settings in the Preferences dialog and the Arc mode of the Properties panel.

Geometry (Properties panel only)

• (X/Y) – the X-axis and Y-axis values of the arc's center point relative to the document origin.
• Radius – the radius (center to perimeter distance) of the selected Arc.
• Start Angle – the angle of the Arc start point relative to the arc center in the X-axis.
• End Angle – the angle of the Arc end point relative to the arc center in the X-axis.
