PCB_Cmd-ChangeObjectChangeObject_AD

Applied Parameters: LaunchMode=RightClick

Summary

This command is used to modify the specific properties of the placed object currently under the cursor.

Access

This command is accessed from the PCB Editor and PCB Library Editor by right-clicking over a placed design object then choosing the Properties command from the context menu.

Use

After launching the command, the Properties panel will open (if not displayed already), loaded with the properties for the object. Use this to make the required property changes.

Tips

1. If the Properties panel is already visible, selecting the object in the workspace will load the panel with that object's properties. If the panel is not currently visible, double-clicking on the placed object will make it visible and load it with that object's properties.
2. Press F1 over an object to access information specific to that object type.

Applied Parameters: Object=Net|ContextObject=Net

Summary

This command is used to modify the properties of the net associated to the object currently under the cursor.

Access

This command is accessed from the PCB Editor by right-clicking over a placed design object then choosing the Net Actions » Properties command from the context menu.

Use

After launching the command, the Edit Net dialog will open. Use this dialog to modify the properties of the parent net to which the object is associated.

Tips

1. The Edit Net dialog can also be accessed directly from the PCB panel. With the panel configured in Nets mode, double-click on the entry for a specific net in the Nets region (or right-click on the net entry then choose the Properties command from the context menu).
