Capital Schematic Generator for Logic Designer > Capital Schematic Generator for Logic Designer Dialog Box and Field Reference

Schematic Style Editor

Dialog Box

To access: Select Show Schematic Style Editor in the Import Project and Generate Diagrams Dialog Box to display the editor during the import process.

Used to specify any component styling, diagram layout styling, and to select a template (prototype) to apply to diagrams imported using the importing a project and generating diagrams process.

Note

See also Importing a Project and Generating Diagrams.

Objects

The dialog box includes three tabs:

Component Styling

Layout Styling

Prototype

Field	Description
Component Styling Tab	Used to specify the required styling to use for objects on the generated diagrams. By default, Capital Schematic Generator for Logic Designer uses the Default style set for Capital E/E Publisher. On the Component Styling tab, you can edit the default style set, or selected style set but note that the changes will apply to any designs using the style set and is visible if this style set is viewed in Capital Project Manager. See the Diagram Styling User Guide for full information about the style set configuration options displayed on this tab and how to edit them. If you have a license to use Capital Styling, use the Style Set dropdown list at the top of the tab to select a different style set, if available. You can click the ellipsis button (...) to open the Style Sets Dialog to edit an existing style set or create a new style set.

Field	Description
Layout Styling Tab	Used to specify the required styling to use for layout of objects on the generated diagrams. See Specifying Layout Styling When Generating Diagrams for illustrations of the effects of these settings.
Diagram Flow	Set the layout of the components, pins and conductors on the diagram to flow: Horizontal (left to right) Vertical (bottom to top)
Enable Connector Flow	Select to enable devices and connectors to have their pins only on the sides that follow the direction of the Diagram flow. On the top and bottom sides in a vertical flow, and on the left and right sides in a horizontal flow. This restricts the connector placement to the sides of devices following the flow. Clear to enable devices and connectors to have pins on all sides, and therefore do not want to restrict connector placement on devices.
Enable Tree Layout	Select to create diagrams using a tree layout that reflects the specified Diagram flow direction. Clear to create diagrams using a graph representation that reduces the overlapping of connectivity and bends in conductors. The following considerations are relevant to this type of layout: Generated diagrams do not have a flow. Pins are not always evenly distributed. Conductors may have 90 degree bends.
Enable Device Stretching	Select to stretch devices in the generated diagram to reduce net jogs, and the crossover of conductors. The device height and width exceeds nominal pin grid spacing.
Optimize Parallel placements of Tree Devices	Many devices can directly associate to a single device. Select to align the devices vertically or horizontally to graphically represent the associations. This is considered a one-to-many connection. An example is an ABS module, and its sensors.
Enable Connector Splitting by Proximity	Select to split the graphical representation of harness connectors around the devices to which they belong, if it reduces net jogs and conductor crossover.
Enable Inline Splitting	Select to split the graphical orientation of inline connectors around devices.
Auto select Border to Fit	Select to automatically select a suitable border to fit the design.
Connect Indicators with Daisy Chain	The layout of diagrams generated using Capital Schematic Generator for Logic Designer can become complex as separate shield terminations are created for each multicore on the design. If the design includes numerous shielded multicores, you can select Connect Indicators with Daisy Chain to simplify the layout of generated diagrams.
Hide Unconnected Pins	Select to hide unconnected pins or clear to display unconnected pins on the generated diagrams.
Minimum Conductor Length	Specify the minimum distance in grid spaces that can exist between any two devices, connectors, or splices that are connected by a conductor. If a greater length is specified, more white space is displayed between objects on the diagram.
Minimum Device Width	Specify the minimum width in grid spaces for Device display. Tip To ensure the pin decoration text does not spill over the device box use a font size of 0.4 inch/10 mm or smaller. Alternatively, select Increase device box width to accommodate pin decoration to automatically determine the width of devices.
Increase Device Box Width to Accommodate Pin Decoration	Used to avoid manually resizing the width of devices and improve the readability of generated diagrams. Select to automatically increase the graphical width of devices to accommodate pin decorations that may extend beyond the device bounding box or overlap with adjacent pin decorations. Clear to use the “Minimum device width” value to determine the width of devices.

Field	Description
Prototype Tab	The Prototype tab enables you to specify an existing Project as a template for the generated diagrams. Any connectivity in the importing designs matching connectivity in the selected Prototype design, adopts the layout from the template. Any unmatched connectivity in the importing design is laid out automatically. If a design (for which diagrams have to be generated) and the template are revisions of the same design, connectivity objects (devices, conductors, and so on) are matched by revisions. Otherwise, connectivity objects are matched by name.
Select Prototype Design By	Select Name or Revision to match the designs being imported to the designs in the selected prototype by Name or Revision.
From Project	Displays a list of all projects that are available to be used as a Prototype.
