26. What is the difference between a property and a property viewer?
However, properties are the information that is internally recognized by the system and not displayed on schematics.
Therefore, the data that is input to display properties is the property viewer.
Property viewers are required for certain properties, such as references and pin labels, which are represented by character strings.
27. Although I defined a reference and other properties, they are not displayed on the schematics.
Or double-click on the cell for the property name you want to display in the Change Attribute dialog box. The selected cell changes color to sky blue. (You may perform this operation instead of entering data in Property Viewer.)
A: [Place] - [Property Viewer]
Property Viewer Dialog Box
Change the colors and display positions as necessary.
Click <<Apply>>.
When you bring the focus onto the canvas, the property viewer is displayed in a drag shape. Click at a position on the canvas where you want to display the property viewer.
Change Attribute Dialog Box
When focus is the property viewer, those whose display is turned off can be selected. Why?
28. The positions at which property viewers are displayed for input/pins differ for each pin.
29. When focus is the property viewer, those whose display is turned off can be selected. Why?
Property viewers are objects used to input and display properties. If a property viewer is not needed, delete it (don't just turn off its display).
Note that if you delete a property viewer, the property itself is retained.
30. When a property is not defined, the property viewer is displayed as @xxx. I don't want it to be displayed.
Choose [Environment] - [Localize Data.RSC] - [Notations].
The Notations, etc dialog box will appear.
The "Displayed Property Name Length" parameter in this dialog box is set to the length of the character string "@XXX." Set this value to 0.
31. Although I deleted a net name, the property viewer "@netLabel" remains intact.
However, this property viewer is not automatically deleted. You must delete it manually. Therefore, even when you have deleted the net name, @netLabel remains intact.
Delete property viewers that you don't need.
32. I want to change the object colors.
Color is one of those properties. Therefore, to change the color of an object,
first select the object, then choose
- [Attribute] - [Change Attribute]
Conponent Cell Property Viewer
Property Setup dialog box
![]()
resource file (lanenv.rsc). This is the color that is used when you input an object.
Default Attributes Dialog Box
33. I want to edit the character comments which I input directly into a symbol file on the schematics.
On the other hand, in cases where property viewers have been input in the symbol file, once the properties are defined you can display the values at any time.
Therefore, if the character strings need to be changed on the schematics, we recommend that property viewers, and not the character comments, be input in the symbol file.
Cases where the management number is input in a sheet frame symbol | Cases where the property viewer for the management number is input in a sheet frame symbol |
34. Although I replaced a part, the position of the previous property viewer is retained.
35. I want the pin numbers and pin names that have already been input to be turned off from the display collectively on the schematics.
1. Set the focus to "Pin." After selecting the entire schematic, choose [Attribute] - [Change Attribute].
The Property Setup dialog box will appear. Double-click on the "Pin Number"
or "Pin Name" cell in this dialog box.
(-> The color changes from light blue to white.)
Note that if you have deleted pin number or pin name property viewers when registering symbols, they are not displayed even if you set properties on schematics.
(However, the symbols that have already been input in schematics are not affected.)
36. Although I edited a symbol file, but the changes I made are not reflected in the symbols on the schematic.
After selecting symbols, execute [Utilities] - [Reload Symbol Figure] - [Load Symbol Using Current Symbol Path].
About the reload command function for the symbol figures.
Load Symbol Using Current Symbol Path
The selected component is reloaded from the same path and same file name into the schematic.
Load Symbol by Search
Symbols in the same file as that of the selected symbol are searched sequentially beginning with symbol path
number 0. The file is replaced with the first occurrence of file.
I want to replace a symbol figure which has already been placed in the schematic with another one.
