PCB 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 using the following:
- Post-placement settings – all OLE Object object properties are available for editing in the Properties panel when a placed OLE Object is selected in the workspace.
Location
- (X/Y) - the current X (horizontal) coordinate and current Y (vertical) coordinate of the reference point of the object relative to the current workspace origin. Edit to change the position of the object.
- Rotation - the object's angle of rotation (in degrees), measured counterclockwise from zero (the 3 o'clock horizontal). Edit to change the rotation of the object. Minimum angular resolution is 0.001°.
Properties
- Layer - the layer to which the object is currently assigned. Use the drop-down to select a different layer.
- Edit Data - click to open the object (in the associated application) and make any required edits. After making the edits and closing the associated application, in the Properties panel, click Save to save the edits or Cancel.
