Component Parameters
OBJECT_TYPE
(Required)
The object type (COMPONENT OR CONNECTOR).
Format: OBJ_TYPE text string
REF_DES
(Required)
The reference designator name. When placing a component symbol in a diagram, you must supply a unique REF_DES name. The system saves this name with the symbol instance and uses it in wire lists, and the like.
Format: REF_DES text string
NUM_OF_PINS
(Required)
The number of logical pins. The number of visible pins is determined by number of nodes in the symbol definition.
Format: NUM_OF_PINS integer
GENDER
Required If object type is connector (Male or Female).
MODEL_NAME
The name of the reference solid model in Cabling—the physical model that the component symbol represents. This helps Cabling to designate components automatically.
Format: MODEL_NAME text string
DESCRIPTION
The description of the component.
Format: DESCRIPTION text string.
DEF_GROUPING
The default grouping for entry ports in the connector, ROUND, WIRE or FLAT. Default value ROUND
DEF_INTERNAL_LEN
The default internal length value for all entry ports in connector, default value 0.0.
TABLE_AUTO_ASSIGN
Optional, True, False, defaults to True. You can also set this parameter at the component level so that the parameter is applicable to all the pins of the component.
Example: If you set the SIGNAL_VALUE_AUTO_ASSIGN parameter to FALSE for a terminator table, you cannot set the corresponding parameter for that pin.
User Defined
Establishes a user-defined parameter. Format: <parameter name> text string or value.
Example: SUPPLIER KGY_Supply_Co
