Schematic Editor object properties are definable options that specify the visual style, content and behavior of the placed object. The property settings for each type of object are defined in two different ways:

  • Pre-placement settings – most Round Rectangle object properties, or those that can logically be pre-defined, are available as editable default settings on the Schematic - Defaults page of the Preferences dialog (access from the  button at the top-right of the design space). Select the object in the Primitive List to reveal its options on the right.

  • Post-placement settings – all Round Rectangle object properties are available for editing in the Round Rectangle dialog and the Properties panel when a placed Round Rectangle is selected in the design space.

              

If the Double Click Runs Interactive Properties option is disabled (default) on the Schematic - Graphical Editing page of the Preferences dialog, when the primitive is double-clicked or you right-click on a selected primitive then choose Properties, the dialog will open. When the Double Click Runs Interactive Properties option is enabled, the Properties panel will open. 
While the options are the same in the dialog and the panel, the order and placement of the options may differ slightly. 
In the below properties listing, options that are not available as default settings in the Preferences dialog are noted as "Properties panel only".

Location (Properties panel only)

  • (X/Y) - the X (horizontal) coordinate and Y (vertical) coordinate of the object. 

Properties

  • Width - can be edited.
  • Height - can be edited.
  • Corner X-Radius - the curvature of the rectangle's corners in the horizontal plane, which may be edited.
  • Corner Y-Radius - the curvature of the rectangle's corners in the vertical plane, which may be edited.
  • Border use the drop-down to select the default border width from the available choices. Click on the color box to change the color.
  • Fill Color - enable to use a fill color. Click on the color box to select the color.
