Summary

Returns all designator, harness connector type, IEEE symbol, net label, off sheet connector, parameter, parameter set, part, pin, power port, probe, sheet symbol designator, sheet symbol file name, and text string objects whose Orientation property complies with the Query.

Syntax

Orientation = Orientation_String
Orientation <> Orientation_String

Orientation_String must be one of the strings from the following list:

  • '0 Degrees'
  • '90 Degrees'
  • '180 Degrees'
  • '270 Degrees'

Example Usage

Orientation = '90 Degrees'
Returns all designator, harness connector type, IEEE symbol, net label, off sheet connector, parameter, parameter set, part, pin, power port, probe, sheet symbol designator, sheet symbol file name, and text string objects whose Orientation property is 90 Degrees.

Orientation <> '180 Degrees'
Returns all objects except designator, harness connector type, IEEE symbol, net label, off sheet connector, parameter, parameter set, part, pin, power port, probe, sheet symbol designator, sheet symbol file name, and text string objects whose Orientation property is 180 Degrees.

Orientation <> '' && Orientation <> '180 Degrees'
Orientation > '' && Orientation <> '180 Degrees'
Returns all designator, harness connector type, IEEE symbol, net label, off sheet connector, parameter, parameter set, part, pin, power port, probe, sheet symbol designator, sheet symbol file name, and text string objects whose Orientation property is not 180 Degrees.

Tips

  1. The Orientation property is only defined for designator, harness connector type, IEEE symbol, net label, off sheet connector, parameter, parameter set, part, pin, power port, probe, sheet symbol designator, sheet symbol file name, and text string objects.
  2. The single quote characters (') at the start and end of Orientation_String are mandatory.
