View and modify the parameters that define the instance properties of divided paths in a conceptual design.
To change instance properties, select the element and change its properties on the Properties palette.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Nodes | |
Layout | Specifies how nodes are distributed along a divided path. Either None, Fixed Number, Fixed Distance, Minimum Distance, or Maximum Distance. |
Number | Specifies the number of nodes used to divide the path. |
Distance | Specifies the distance between nodes along a divided path. |
Justification | Specifies where the first node is placed when dividing a path. Either Beginning, Center, or End. |
Minimum Distance | Specifies a minimum distance range for paths divided by the Minimum Distance layout. |
Maximum Distance | Specifies a maximum distance range for paths divided by the Maximum Distance layout. |
Measurement Type | Specifies the length type with which the distance between nodes is measured. Either Chord Length (straight line between nodes), or Segment Length (along the path between nodes). |
Total Number of Nodes | Specifies the total number of nodes created from division and reference intersects. This is a read-only value. |
Show Node Numbers | Displays the number of each node when the path is selected. |
Flip Direction | Reverses the numerical direction of nodes along a divided path. For example, if the path ran left to right. |
Beginning Indent | Specifies the length of an indent at the beginning of a divided path. Indents are subject to the measurement type. Nodes created by distribution do not extend into indents. |
End Indent | Specifies the length of an indent at the end of a divided path. Indents are subject to the measurement type. Nodes created by distribution do not extend into indents. |
Identity Data | |
Comments | User comments. |
Mark | Identifies or enumerates a particular instance as specified by the user. |
Length | |
Path Length | Specifies the length of the divided path. This is a read-only value. |
