Summary

Returns all child objects of parameter set, part, pin, and probe objects, whose Orientation property complies with the Query.

Syntax

Object_Orientation(Parent) = Orientation_String
Object_Orientation(Parent) <> Orientation_String

Orientation_String must be one of the strings from the following list:

  • '0 Degrees'
  • '90 Degrees'
  • '180 Degrees'
  • '270 Degrees'

Example Usage

Object_Orientation(Parent) = '90 Degrees'
Returns all child objects of parameter set, part, pin, and probe objects, whose Orientation property is 90 Degrees.

Object_Orientation(Parent) <> '180 Degrees'
Returns all objects except child objects of parameter set, part, pin, and probe objects, whose Orientation property is 180 Degrees.

Object_Orientation(Parent) <> '' && Object_Orientation(Parent) <> '180 Degrees'
Object_Orientation(Parent) > '' && Object_Orientation(Parent) <> '180 Degrees'
Returns all child objects of parameter set, part, pin, and probe objects, whose Orientation property is not 180 Degrees.

Tips

  1. The Orientation property is defined for designator, harness connector type, IEEE symbol, net label, off sheet connector, parameter, parameter set, part, pin, power port, probe, sheet symbol designator, sheet symbol file name, and text string objects. However, only parameter set, part, pin, and probe objects can have children that are returnable by this expression.
  2. The single quote characters (') at the start and end of Orientation_String are mandatory.
