Slice Objects

Certain objects on diagrams can be sliced, simplifying diagram modifications and making diagrams easier to understand.

The Slice functionality allows you to draw an intersection line across an applicable object, to create a new instance of that object, retaining connectivity and preserving style. You can use this to quickly partition diagram content then move it to a new diagrams, or to trim oversized functions.

• Functions, blocks, signals and highways can be sliced

• Slices can be vertical or horizontal

• Slices can not be made directly across ports or mated edges

• Slices on functions or blocks must leave at least one port on each side of the slice. If not the object will be trimmed to the size of the slice.

See Slice Objects in the Capital Design Tools - Common Functions User Guide for full details.
