Configuring Schematic Harness Connector Type Object Properties in Altium Designer

Parent page: Harness Connector Type

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 Harness Connector Type 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 Harness Connector Type object properties are available for editing in the Properties panel when a Harness Connector Type is selected in the workspace.
