Using a Constraint to Set Properties and Attributes on Objects

You can use the “Set Integrator Attribute/Property on Object” constraint to set a property or attribute with a particular value on objects of a particular type.

Procedure

1. Set the “Set Integrator Attribute/Property on Object” constraint on a design or objects within a design. You can set this constraint multiple times, specifying a different object type and different property/attribute values each time. See Overview of Rules and Constraints for more information about setting rules and constraints.The constraint is: Set Object Type AttrOrProp to Value where AttrOrProp = Value An example of its use is: Set Wire Name to ValueOf(PartNumber) where EMC Category = A In this example, if a wire has an EMC Category property of A, the Name attribute of that wire is set to its part number value.

2. To apply the constraint or constraints to a diagram, press Space Bar, enter Apply, and select the ‘Automate->Apply’ ribbon action.The properties and attributes from the constraints are set for the appropriate objects.
