Configuring Multi-board Schematic Line Object Properties in Altium Designer

Parent page: Line

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 Line 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 Line object properties are available for editing in the Properties panel when a placed Line is selected in the workspace.

• Start (X/Y) – the X-axis and Y-axis values of the Line's start point (the first point placed).
• End (X/Y) – the X-axis and Y-axis values of the Line's end point.
