Changing format properties of SmartParts

Format properties of SmartParts can be defined as follows:

• In the script of the SmartPart
• If nothing was defined in the script, you can define the properties on the Format toolbar when you place the SmartPart.

Format properties in the script

You can define the format properties (pen thickness, line type, line color and layer) for individual components or for all elements in the script of a SmartPart.

The colors defined in the script are used for placing such a SmartPart.
Clicking while pressing the CTRL opens the SmartPart dialog box, where you can change the SmartPart's parameters and its format properties.

You can also modify a SmartPart by double-clicking it. Alternatively, you can open the SmartPart's shortcut menu and select Properties.

Format toolbar (not defined in script)

If the format properties (pen thickness, line type, line color and layer) are not defined in the script, the settings on the Format toolbar are used for placing the SmartPart.

You can use Modify Format Properties to modify the properties later.
