Schematic Editor Options: General Tab

Set these options in the General tab under Schematic Editor in the Options dialog box.

• Symbol Graphics – Specify whether to use IEEE or traditional graphic symbol style on schematics. Each style contains two or more active levels for the graphic objects that comprise a symbol. See Symbol Graphic Object Levels for additional information.
• SubCircuit Pin Spacing – Specify the pin spacing in grid units for pins on a subcircuit component symbol. See Adding a Subcircuit and Creating a Subcircuit from a Selection Area for additional information.
• Show Pin Labels – Specify whether to display pin labels in the Schematic Editor.
• Property Display Angle Follows Symbol Angle – Specify whether displayed text properties rotate when the associated component rotates.
• Update Property Display on Definition Update – Specify that when component symbol definitions update, the displayed properties of instances of the updated component on the schematic also update. If not enabled, only the symbol graphics are updated.
• Auto Scroll when close to edges – Specify whether the Schematic Editor display scrolls when the cursor is near the edge of the editor window.
• Show advanced property data - Toggle the display of less often used component property tabs such as Symbol and General.
• Net name display – Set the net name property display distance from the net.
• Symbol Scaling Factor – Third-party vendors often follow a different symbol dimensioning system than that used in Twin Builder. Symbol sizes that look appropriate in a third-party application may not be appropriate for Twin Builder. To mitigate such issues, use symbol scaling during import to scale the incoming symbol graphics for symbol formats such as SVG by the specified amount. Similarly, when exporting, the symbol can be rescaled to the original dimensions.
• Selection Colors – sets the colors of the first and subsequent objects as they are selected on a schematic.
