  • 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 workspace). 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 Properties panel when a placed Round Rectangle is selected in the workspace.
