There are two types of Drawing Frame Attributes; Macro Attributes and normal attributes.
Macro Attributes include predetermined operations such as automatically assigning page numbers and displaying file name when creating a schematic.
Normal attributes are added by the user, and are used by inputting text when creating a schematic.
When multiple schematics are used, shared attributes in the project can interlock content and the show/hide status.
For more details about interlocking, refer to Interlocking Drawing Frame Attributes. It is recommended that you use this for shared attributes in a project such as Drawing No. and revision.
The following will explain how to change attributes on a schematic.
It is also possible to edit all attributes on a schematic from the Edit Frame Attributes Menu. |
| (1) |
Double-click a drawing frame attribute on a schematic. |
|
 |
| (2) |
Input the character string you want to display. |
|
 |
| |
Text in the drawing frame can easily be edited. |

Text cannot be edited on the schematic. If editing is necessary, place the attribute.
