The Round Rectangle dialog.

Summary

This dialog allows the designer to specify the properties of a Round Rectangle object. A round rectangle is a non-electrical drawing primitive. Essentially a rectangle object with rounded corners, it is a graphic element that can be placed on a schematic sheet – filled or unfilled.

For information on how a placed round rectangle object can be modified graphically, directly in the workspace, see Graphical Editing.

Access

The Round Rectangle dialog can be accessed during placement by pressing the Tab key.

After placement, the dialog can be accessed in one of the following ways:

  • Double-clicking on the placed round rectangle object.
  • Placing the cursor over the round rectangle object, right-clicking and choosing Properties from the context menu.

Options/Controls

  • Border Width - the width of the border used to draw the outline of the rectangular shape. Available widths are: Smallest, Small, Medium, and Large.
  • Draw Solid - if this option is enabled, the rectangle is filled with the color set in the Fill Color field. If this option is disabled, the rectangle is drawn in outline only.
  • Fill Color - click the color sample to change the fill color for the rectangle, using the standard Choose Color dialog. The Draw Solid option must be enabled for the rectangle to be filled.
  • Border Color - click the color sample to change the color used for the border around the rectangle, using the standard Choose Color dialog.
  • Location X1/Y1 - the current X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinates for the bottom-left corner of the rectangle. Edit these values to change the position of this corner in the horizontal and/or vertical planes respectively.
  • Location X2/Y2 - the current X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinates for the top-right corner of the rectangle. Edit these values to change the position of this corner in the horizontal and/or vertical planes respectively.
  • X-Radius - use this field to control the curvature of the rectangle's corners, in the horizontal plane.
  • Y-Radius - use this field to control the curvature of the rectangle's corners, in the vertical plane.
  • Locked - enable this option to protect the rectangle from being edited graphically.
An object that has its Locked property enabled cannot be selected or graphically edited. Double click on the locked object directly and disable the Locked property, to graphically edit the object.
