Objects

Field	Description
Name	Specify a name for the object. Enter a new name or click the ellipsis button (...) to select from a list of pre-specified logical diagram names maintained in the project’s Object Type Information in Capital Project Manager. With the exception of pins, you can rename an object to have the same name of another object in the same design revision. If you do this, the name is displayed in red and a warning is displayed when you click OK. If you are editing a multicore indicator, the multicore name is displayed in the Name field. If you are editing a signal, you can edit the name only if the signal is not associated with a functional source net from an associated design. Select Fixed if you want the name to be fixed. Select the Visible check box next to the Name field if you want the name to display on the diagram. Click the Edit Attributes button () to display the Edit Name Text Attributes Dialog Box to specify how the name is displayed on the diagram.
Short Description	Read-only if an object’s name was assigned using a name from the project’s Object Type Information in Capital Project Manager. A brief description of the object to provide some detail about it. Select the Visible check box next to the Short Description field if you want the name to display on the diagram. Click the Edit Attributes button () to display the Edit Name Text Attributes Dialog Box to specify how the short description is displayed on the diagram.
Associated Design	Enables you to associate the block to another design to create a hierarchical representation showing how different designs are connected. Enter a design name or click the ellipsis button (...) to select from a list of available designs displayed in the Select Design Dialog Box. Click the icon to disassociate the target design from the block. Note If there is an active Logic build list in the project, you can only associate blocks with design revisions in that build list. You can only associate a block with the most recent revision of a design. You cannot associate a block with the design that the block is in.
Attributes table	Displays attributes specific to the object type. If an attribute is editable for the object, its name and value are displayed in black in the Name and Value column, otherwise they are dimmed. If you enter an invalid value, it changes to red.
Show All Attributes	Selected by default. Clear this option to display only the editable attributes on this tab.
