Configuring Schematic Library IEEE Symbol Object Properties in Altium NEXUS

This document is no longer available beyond version 4. Information can now be found here: IEEE Symbols Properties for version 5

Applies to NEXUS Client version: 4

This documentation page references Altium NEXUS/NEXUS Client (part of the deployed NEXUS solution), which has been discontinued. All your PCB design, data management and collaboration needs can now be delivered by Altium Designer and a connected Altium 365 Workspace. Check out the FAQs page for more information.

Schematic Library 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 the following way:

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

 

While the options are the same in the dialog and the panel, the order and placement of the options may differ slightly. 

Location

  • (X/Y) - the current X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinate of the reference point of the object, relative to the current design space origin. Edit to change the X and Y position of the object. The values can be entered in either metric or imperial; include the units when entering a value whose units are not the current default. 
  • Rotation - use the drop-down to select the rotation. 

Properties

  • Symbol - defines the graphical IEEE symbol. Select a symbol from the drop-down list.
  • Size - the current size of the IEEE symbol. The default size is 10 DXP Default Units (100mil). Increase or decrease this value to make the symbol bigger or smaller. Entering a negative value results in the symbol appearing as if rotated by 180 degrees.
  • Line - the width of the line used to draw the outline of the symbol.
