Editing Objects Parameters

This following sections provide an introduction and overview to editing object parameters.

A design object's parameters determine the visual appearance of that design object on the schematic diagram. Parameters consist of sub-parameters, that determine the relative position of the object on the diagram and glyphs, that determine the shape of the object.

Parameters at the top level can only be renamed (by changing the value in the Type field), whereas sub-parameters can have their type and name changed.

The Parameters tab on the Edit Properties facility enables you to add or edit parameters for blocks and functions in Capital Systems Modeler. It is not available for other objects. See Editing the Properties of Objects topic for more information on the Edit Properties facility.

Note

Each object type has its own set of parameters. For example, the "bottom-broken" (broken line glyph) is only available for shared components.
