When you use this type of configuration file, the connector will
automatically be drawn with one symbol.
The left part of the dialog box displays the configuration settings in five tabs. The right
part shows a parameter preview.
General
Lets you name the configuration and enter a description in all software
languages.
Shape
When inserting, the connector symbol is automatically built with configuration
parameters.
- Size
- Width: Enter the connector body width (A). You
must combine this value with the fillet radius to get the total width of
the connector.
- Rounded corner radius: Enter the diameter of the
fillet (B).
- Pins
- Distance to first point: Enter the distance
between the top of the connector and the first connection point
(C).
- Space between two pins: Enter the distance
between two connection points (D). This value must correspond to the
distance between two wire conductors.
- Pin side: Determines if pins from the same
circuit are drawn on one or two sides. The list contains four items
(Right, Left,
Left and right, Right and
left). If you select Right and
Left, the first pin of the circuit is placed on the
right side, then the next points of the same circuit on the opposite
side. A new circuit starts again on the right side. For each pin of each
circuit, one symbol for a connection point and one symbol for a circuit
is inserted on each side.
- Insert symbol circuit: Lets you select the option
to insert only one symbol per circuit or to insert the circuit symbol
for each pin of each circuit.
- Combs
A comb is a special graphic element that groups
several circuits. To generate a comb, you must group circuits in the
manufacturer part assigned to the connector.
- Comb position: Enter the distance between the
connection points and the comb (E).
- Comb tooth width: Enter the horizontal line
width of the comb (F).
- Options
- Vertical separator position: If you want to have
a vertical separation line, enter the distance between this separator
and the right side of the connector. Keep O to
not draw the separator.
- Background margin: You can hide the entities
drawn under the connector by automatically inserting a wipeout. Enter a
value to define the margin of the wipeout. The O
value corresponds to the connector extend.
- Cross reference type: Select the default cross
references level. It will automatically apply to the symbols
representing the connector.
Attributes
- Information (top).
Enter coordinates for the
insertion point of the symbol containing the attributes, relative to the
upper-left angle of the connector symbol (A) (B).
- Information (bottom)
Enter coordinates for the
insertion point of the symbol containing the attributes, relative to the
bottom-left angle of the connector symbol (C) (D).
Connection points
Connection points are necessary to connect the symbol to the wire conductors.
Circuits
When inserting, the managed circuits are made up of circuits from the manufacturer
part. The list displayed in the dialog box depends on the circuits associated with
the Connector class.
This feature lets you draw the type of pin in the connector symbol.
You can associate a symbol to each type of circuit that will be inserted in the
connection point. You can also manage its insertion angle and scale factor.
