Chapter 3. Improvements in schematic editor functions


Improvements in Net/Bus Label
The reference input function in the "Net/Bus Label" dialog has been improved to allow entry of net names for selected multiple nets at one time.

"Properties" Dialog Improvements
The Function Type indication in the "Properties" dialog now also display the Function Type No.
This makes it possible to use a number to handle function types.

Search function additions
A "Find it except specified condition" checkbox has been added to the "Find" dialog.

Improvements in part and symbol swap property check boxes
The Swap Symbol subpanels "Swap Prop." and "Swap Pin Prop." as well as the "Keep Property viewers" checkbox in the "Swap Components" dialog can now be controlled.

This makes it possible to prevent changes to schematic settings when one schematic is created on multiple machines.

Improvements in generation of new sheets
Default values can now be set for sheet properties when making new sheets by creating or moving sheets.
Any sheet property values registered in the Property Definition File (PropSpec) can be set.

This makes it possible to define the properties shared by all sheets under one target circuit directory.

Improvements in selection status of echo area
Reference numbers, pin numbers, net names and other object properties can now be displayed when an echo area is selected.

Function for Prioritizing User Signal Names When Connecting to a Net Added
User signal name net properties are now given priority to prevent duplication of net properties, when user signal name nets (net names set by the user using [Place] - [Net/Bus Label]) are connected to automatic signal name nets (SIGNXXX).

Improvements in net check function when sheets are saved
A warning message is output notifying the user that there is a net property containing multiple property values when an attempt to save a sheet with a net property containing multiple property values is made.

Improved component rotation
Selected components can now be rotated without having to drag and drop them.

Keep Line Gap Function Added to Plotter Out
A "Keep Line Gap" function has been added to the "Parameter Setting" dialog during Plotter Output to ensure that lines with width such as broken lines, dashed lines, chain double-dashed lines are not joined together when plotted out.

This function is available when "Output as Paint" is selected for Bold Line.
