Properties Panel
The Properties panel is not visible? Double-click the object you want to change – the panel appears.
In the Properties panel you set everything about the selected object – position, color, reference, hatching and more.
| Property | What it sets |
|---|---|
| Position/X, Y | Center of the object |
| Position/Angle | Rotation of the object |
| Reference/Text | Reference (symbol identifier) |
| Border/Color | Border color |
| Filling/Color | Fill color |
| Filling/Area | Area of a closed object |
| Scale/X, Y | Multiplier of the symbol size on the X and Y axes |
| Border/Line end | Type of line end (3 variants) |
| Line type | Choice of the line style |
| Line-Type Scale | Multiplier of the length of line segments |
| Arrow/Arrow type | Arrow type |
| Arrow/Scale X, Y | Multiplier of the arrow shape along the X and Y axes |
| Secondary Color/Color | Second color of a two-color line |
| Secondary Color/enable | Turns on the two-color line |
| Points/N.x, y | Coordinates of the N-th point of the line |
| [M < N] | Angle of the line segment between points M and N |
| [M d N] | Length of the line segment between points M and N |
| Others/Link | Hyperlink |
Units
If a page scale is set, real units are shown. Otherwise tenths of a millimeter are used.
Angles are given in tenths of a degree (for example 90° = 900).
Hatching
If two materials with the same hatching type are next to each other, the hatching must differ – otherwise it visually merges. Adjust the values Offset x and Offset y. In the picture, the hatching at the top is wrong, at the bottom right:
💡 Pro tip: The Properties panel is also handy for placing objects precisely – enter the coordinates instead of dragging with the mouse. In large drawings this is more accurate and faster.
