Configuring Schematic Signal Harness Object Properties in Altium Designer

Parent page: Signal Harness

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 Signal Harness 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 (accessed 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 Signal Harness object properties are available for editing in the Signal Harness dialog and the Properties panel when a placed Signal Harness is selected in the design space.

Properties

• Width - use the drop-down to select the default width from the available choices. Click on the color box to access a drop-down from which you can select the default color.

Vertices (Properties panel only)

• Grid - lists all of the vertex points currently defined for the object in terms of:
  • Index - the assigned index of the vertex (non-editable).
  • X - the X (horizontal) coordinate for the vertex. Click to edit.
  • Y - the Y (vertical) coordinate for the vertex. Click to edit.
• Add - click to add a new vertex point. The new vertex will be added below the currently focused vertex entry and will initially have the same X, Y coordinates as the focused entry. Click  to remove the currently selected vertex.
