Modify Property Form – Edit Object Properties

Type specifies a property type.

Name specifies the name of the property you want to modify.

Value specifies a value for the property.

Note: To define most properties, you need to specify only the name, type, and value.

However, when you specify string, int, or float as the type, one of the following fields appears on the form.

Choices appears when Type is set to string. If the string can have more than one value, type the possible values. Entries in this field must match an entry in theValue field.

Min and Max appear when Type is set to int or float. Specify a minimum and maximum range for the integer or floating-point value.

Move Form

Snap Mode specifies the angles along which you can move objects within the cellview.

anyAngle lets you move the objects along any angle.

diagonal restricts the movement of objects to points along 45-degree, 90-degree, and

180-degree angles from the current location.

orthogonal restricts the movement of objects to points that are along the X and Y axes from the current location.

Rotate turns an object in 90-degree increments counterclockwise around the current reference point.

Sideways mirrors the object across an imaginary vertical line passing through the current reference point.

Upside Down mirrors the object across an imaginary horizontal line passing through the current reference point.

Net Expression Available Property Names Form

Property Name shows the active net expression property names available to a specific instance in the hierarchy. The active property name is the name of the lookup property in a net expression for which no override is found in the instance hierarchy below it. The lookup property is associated with an inherited signal or an inherited terminal. The active property name could also be the name of the lookup property in a redirecting net expression which is the value of a netSet property.

Evaluated Name shows the evaluated name of the net expression property.
