Property Sheets

Layout Property Sheet

Provides an editable table of attributes regarding the Layout of the current partition. Only Display Attributes are shown for the Layout. Most Display Attributes duplicate functions found in the Format Toolbar However, some exceptions are as follows:

  • View Layers opens the Layers Sheet.
  • Tag is for user comments or other identifying text.

A context Menu allowing the Properties Sheet to be docked or floating, and to be hidden (closed) or to utilize Auto Hide (if docked) can be accessed by right-clicking over the Property Sheet

The thumb-tack allows the Property Sheet to remain open while selecting other objects (disables Auto Hide).

1x1 allows any group of selected components (multi-selection) to appear on the menu.

 

Line Property Sheet

Only Display Attributes are shown for Lines (component connections). Most Display Attributes duplicate functions found in the Format Toolbar. However, some exceptions are as follows:

  • Layer determines which layer the Line is assigned to.
  • Line Label allows identifying text to be placed on the line itself.  
  • Tag is for user comments or other identifying text.
  • Font and Alignment affect the line text.

A context Menu allowing the Properties Sheet to be docked or floating, and to be hidden (closed) or to utilize Auto Hide (if docked) can be accessed by right-clicking over the Property Sheet.

The thumb-tack allows the Property Sheet to remain open while selecting other objects (disables Auto Hide).

1By1 allows any group of selected components (multi-selection) to appear on the menu.

 

Object Property Sheet

 

Both Display and DSP Attributes are shown for component objects.

Most Display Attributes duplicate functions found in the Format Toolbar. However, some exceptions are as follows:

  • Brush Style specifies the look of the object whether it be solid or one of a number of gradient patterns.
  • Layer determines which layer the component is assigned to.  
  • Location specifies object location (top left in x,y pixels).  
  • Pen Width selects the weight of the border around the object.
  • Port Properties brings up a dialog in which individual input and output ports can be labeled. The dialog provides a text label for each port on the object, a hover tip (seen when one mouse's over the connection node) and a spacing adjustment.  
  • Flow Text propagates the entered text labels throughout the signal chain.
  • Tag is for user comments or other identifying text.

Most DSP Attributes duplicate functions found in the individual component Control Dialog boxes (see Component Object Properties). However, some exceptions are as follows:

  • Allocated To Unit assigns the component (DSP block) to a particular unit in the system.  
  • Fixed In Unit prevents changes to Allocated Unit.  
  • Instance Tag allows a custom name to be used in lieu of the Instance Tag.  
  • Project Designer Export allows the generation of a file compatible with Project Designer when exporting.
