Diagram-Specific Drawing Setup Options
These Drawing Setup options apply specifically to Diagram.
Label Position
label_default_position
Position of labels on wire lines. Can be START, MIDDLE, END or any combination separated by commas.
label_ends_gap
Measures the gap erased from a wire on each side of a label, when labels are inside wires. Real number (floating point).
label_parallel
If YES, the wire label is always parallel to the wire, if NO, labels are always parallel to the orientation of the sheet.
Wires
break_point_size
Sets the size of the wire break symbol. There is a certain limit for the value of break_point_size.
If the value is larger or equal to 0.0014 (=<0.0014), the cross (wire break symbol) at the wire break point displays even if it is very small.
If the value is less than 0.0014 (<0.0014), the cross (wire break symbol) does not display, but the number in the setup file is the one entered by the user.
def_wire_break_label
Sets the default wire break label name. To create leading spaces in default wire-break labels, you must enter two sets of quotation marks before the spaces (such as, "sht&wire_opp_sheet"); otherwise, the system does not accept the syntax as input, and does not create the leading spaces in the label.
def_wire_label
Sets the default string to display in the wire label.
default_wire_label_style
Sets the default wire label style, which is a user-defined text style.
default_wire_line_style
Sets the default wire line style, which is a user-defined text style or a system line style.
wire_default_increment
Defines the increment numerical value between two consecutively created wires. Used with wire default-prefix and wire-default suffix.
wire_default_prefix
Defines the text prefix of default wire names.
wire_default_suffix
Defines the start number or letter of the default wirename. If wire_default_suffix is 1, and wire_default_increment is 2, consecutive wires are named wire1, wire3, wire5, and so on. If wire_default_suffix is A, and wire_default_increment is 2, consecutive wires are named wireA, wireC, wireE, and so on. (Cannot contain underscores, dashes, or a mix of numerical and alphabetical characters.)
wire_notes_above
If Yes, the wire notes are set above the wire. If No, they intersect the wire. You can also enter a real number (floating point) for exact offset from the wire.
Cables
cable_cond_delimiter
If cable_cond_from_cable is set to Yes, the value of cable_cond_delimiter is inserted between the cable and spool conductor name when forming the name of the cable conductor.
cable_default_increment
Defines the increment numerical value between two consecutively created cables. Used with cable_default_prefix and cable_default_suffix.
cable_default_prefix
Defines the text prefix of default cable names.
cable_default_suffix
Defines the start number or letter of the default cable name. If cable_default_suffix is 1, and cable_default_increment is 2, consecutive cables are namedcable1 , cable3, cable5, and so on. If cable_default_suffix is A, and cable_default_increment is 2, consecutive cables are named cableA, cableC, cableE, and so on. (Cannot contain underscores, dashes, or a mix of numerical and alphabetical characters.)
cable_jacket_report_name
If you use the default value (DEFAULT), the name of the cable shows in the report table. Any other value is interpreted as plain text. For example, &cable_name has no special meaning.
cable_shield_report_name
Use this name for the cable symbol if the cable is shielded. The default value is SHIELD.
cable_node_report_name
Use this name for the nodes of a cable symbol. The default value is "-."
cond_name_from_cable
If Yes, the conductor name is derived by concatenating the cable name, the value of cable_cond_delimiter, and the spool conductor name.
def_cable_label
Defines the default cable note contents that appears when a cable symbol is created.
def_cond_label
Sets the default cable conductor label name.
Rails
def_rail_label
Sets the default contents of the rail label.
default_rail_label_style
Sets the default rail label style, which can be any valid named text style that is user-defined.
default_rail_line_style
Sets the default rail line style, which is a user-defined text style or a system line style.
rail_default_increment
Defines the increment numerical value between two consecutively created rails. Used with rail_default_prefix and rail_default_suffix.
rail_default_prefix
Defines the text prefix of default rail names.
rail_default_suffix
Defines the start number or letter of the default railname. If rail_default_suffix is 1, and rail_default_increment is 2, consecutive rails are named rail1, rail3, rail5, and so on. If rail_default_suffix is A, and rail_default_increment is 2, consecutive rails are named railA, railC, railE, and so on. (Cannot contain underscores, dashes, or a mix of numerical and alphabetical characters.)
rail_node_radius
Sets the size of the nodes displayed at attachment points between two rails or between a wire and a rail for printing and display.
rail_notes_above
Places the rail notes at a specified real number (floating point) above the highway. The default is .01. Enter NO to center the label on the rail.
Highways
def_highway_label
Defines the highway label contents. This sets the highway label name. The default is no label. Enter &hway_name as a value to show the name; with the assigned prefix, suffix, and increment.
default_highway_label_style
Sets the default label style, which can be any valid named text style that is user-defined.
default_highway_line_style
Sets the default highway line style, which is a user-defined text style or a system line style.
highway_default_increment
Defines the increment numerical value between two consecutively created highways. Used with highway_default_prefix and highway_default_suffix.
highway_default_prefix
Defines the text prefix of default highway names.
highway_default_suffix
Defines the start number or letter of the default highway name. If highway_default_suffix is 1, and highway_default_increment is 2, consecutive highways are named highway1, highway3, highway5, and so on. If highway_default_suffix is A, and highway_default_increment is 2, consecutive highways are named highwayA, highwayC, highwayE, and so on. (Cannot contain underscores, dashes, or a mix of numerical and alphabetical characters.)
highway_notes_above
Places the highway notes at a specified real number (floating point) above the highway. The default is .01. Enter NO to center the label on the highway.
Connectors
def_para_conn_text_height
Sets the default parametric connector text height.
node_radius
Sets the radius of the nodes. By default, the node radius value is DEFAULT. You can change this value as required.
para_conn_mirror
Allow or disallow mirroring for PCs or associated text. (Yes, No, geom_only, text_only)
pc_ident_label
Sets content of parametric connector label.
pc_node_label
Sets the content of the node label for parametric connectors. The value of this option can be text, a pin parameter, or any combination, including a user-defined pin parameter.
