3.4.2 Using the Sheet Properties Dialog Box
The Sheet Properties dialog box is used to set up the preferences for each sheet. These
preferences are saved with the circuit file so that if the circuit is opened on another computer,
it will use the same settings.
Note For personal (user) preferences, see “3.4.1 Using the Preferences Dialog Box” on
page 3-18.
To set sheet preferences:
1. Select
Options /Sheet Properties.
Or
Right-click on a blank area of the workspace and choose
Properties from the pop-up menu
that appears. Do not select any elements (for example, components, wires) on the
workspace, or the properties dialog box for the selected element will display instead.
The
Sheet Properties dialog box appears, offering you the following tabs:
•
Circuit — where you set the color scheme and the display properties of workspace text
•
Workspace — where you set the sheet size and properties
•
Wiring — where you set the wire and bus options
•
Font — where you select the font, font size and style for text elements on the circuit
•
PCB — where you set up options for your printed circuit board
•
Visibility — where you enable and disable custom annotation layers.
2. Select the desired tab.
3. Set the desired customization options. The specific options and settings available in the
tabs are described in the following sections of this chapter.
4. The
Save as Default checkbox is normally enabled. If you do not wish to have the settings
saved as the default, disable this checkbox. Default settings are those used when you
create new circuits (
File/New).
5. Click
OK to save your changes. (If you wish to apply the changes without closing the
dialog, click
Apply).
