Resizing a Device or Connector

Once placed, a device or connector can be resized according to the following rules:

  • Resizing a device moves the attached connectors with the side of the device they are attached to.

  • An attached connector's attached side is not movable.

  • Changing the height of an inline connector resizes both the plug and the jack; their widths are independent, but their heights are dependent. The middle of the inline connector is movable vertically and moving it will resize both the plug and the jack.

  • Changing the size of an object moves pins on that object along with the side being moved. Pins on a corner are left in position, and are considered pins on the side not being moved.

  • Pins are not added or removed when a device is resized.

  • Changing the size of an object cannot orphan any pins. If a pin is on a corner of an object, it cannot be resized smaller on the two dimensions for that corner, even if there is space to do so.

  • The behavior of corner pins depends on the pin list; a pin list rotated 90 degrees will behave as if the sides are the top and bottom. A corner pin thusly moves up and down, instead of left and right.

  • Resizing a Device or Connector Using the Resize Option

  • Resizing a Device or Connector by Dragging a Corner
