Module Box Dimensions

Note: Enter at least one of the Top, Bottom, Left or Right dimension values to assign settings specific to this module.

Sets the right, left, top, and bottom offsets for the rectangle that surrounds the module. The optional Split Top and Split Bottom specify the offsets for a split module where Split Top specifies the offset for the top of a split module and Split Bottom specifies the offset for the bottom of the split module. If left blank, AutoCAD Electrical toolset uses the rectangle Top and Bottom values.

Line Properties

Sets the properties for the lines that make up the box. You can set the color and linetype using the properties fields. To predefine the color, enter "COLOR colorname" into the box. For linetype, enter "LTYPE linetypename" into the box. See the CHPROP command in the AutoCAD Help for more information about the various properties you can set.

If you do not want the line drawn, enter the keyword “ERASE” or “_E”. If you want to apply some special procedure to the drawn line, for example, break the line across terminal graphics, you can reference your custom AutoLISP function in this box. Within your function use "(entlast)" to reference the drawn line entity.
