Sheet Symbol Filename Properties

Parent page: Sheet Symbol Filename

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 Sheet Symbol Filename 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 design space). Select the object in the Primitive List to reveal its options on the right.

• Post-placement settings – all Sheet Symbol Filename object properties are available for editing in the Parameter dialog and the Properties panel when a placed Sheet Symbol Filename is selected in the design space.
