Apply a drawing-specific format settings that are maintained inside the WD_M block of the drawing.
In the Project Manager, right-click the drawing name, and select Properties Drawing Properties. Select the Drawing Format tab.
Select the Drawing Format tab.
Vertical/Horizontal |
Specifies whether to create ladders horizontally or vertically. |
Spacing |
Specifies the spacing between each ladder rung. |
Default: insert new ladders without references |
Sets the default for the Insert Ladder command. New ladders you insert do not have line reference numbering, by default. |
Width |
Specifies the width of the ladder. |
Multi-wire Spacing |
Specifies the spacing between each wire in multi-wire phases. |
Specifies the default referencing system. There are three modes:
X-Y Grid |
All referencing is tied to an X-Y grid system of numbers and letters along the left-hand side and top of the drawing. Set the vertical and horizontal index numbers and letters, spacing, and origin in the X-Y grid setup dialog box.
Tip:
Use negative spacing values for Horizontal or Vertical if you want to change the origin of the X-Y grid system to be other than the upper left-hand corner of the drawing. |
X Zones |
Like X-Y Grid, but there is not a Y-axis. Set the horizontal labels, spacing, and origin on the X Zones setup dialog box.
Tip:
Use a negative zone spacing value if you want the zone reference origin to be at the right side of the drawing. |
Reference Numbers |
Each ladder column has a column of assigned reference numbers. |
Setup |
Specifies how to display ladder line reference numbers - number only, numbers in a hexagon, the sheet and number values, and so on. |
Feature Scale Multiplier |
Sets the scale factor used when inserting new components or wire numbers on the drawing. To insert everything 25% bigger than normal, change the edit box value from 1.00 to 1.25. This change does not affect components and wire numbers that are already present on the drawing. |
inch/inch scaled to mm/mm full size |
Select inch if your drawing is to use library symbols from the JIC1/JIC125 libraries or mm full size for the metric scaled symbol libraries. It adjusts the wire connection trap distance that determines whether closely spaced wire ends connect or not. |
Sort Order |
Sets the default sort order for tagging, wire numbering, and wire sequence for the active drawing. This setting overrides the project-wide setting defined in Properties Project Settings dialog box for this drawing. |
Define |
Defines and manages wire and component layers.
Note:
No matter what layer is current, wires always go to a wire layer and components to component layers. |
