Toolbars and Icons

Definition and settings can also be specified using toolbars / toolbar buttons.

The toolbars can be selected in the Customize dialog:

MIL Settings Toolbar (in DBE mode)

When generating symbols and components in Database Editor mode, the different views can be edited using the corresponding buttons of the MIL Settings toolbar

Button	Functionality	Example
	Editing MIL default view This button is selected when creating the base MIL symbol, including the graphics, addition of text nodes, connect point and placement of the origin.
	Editing MIL female view This button is selected in order to add/modify the graphic that will represent the display of the pin gender, in this case, a female pin. The base MIL symbol is shown grayed out as an aid to locating the graphic.
	Editing MIL male view This button is selected in order to add/modify the graphic that will represent the display of the pin gender, in this case, a male pin. Again, the base MIL symbol is shown grayed out as an aid to locating the graphic.
	Editing MIL graphic origins Used with MIL block connector symbols. When this button is checked, the edit mode for the graphic origin is active, i.e. only then are the 'Place left graphic origin' and 'Place right graphic origin' button active.	Remarks on the 'graphic origin' Graphic connect lines between two MIL symbols are always created between node/node and origin/origin, by default. For displaying "internal" MIL block connectors the origin should thus be inside the block. E3.series, however, defines that block connector symbols with their origin are always placed on the block's edge and the corresponding node must lay outside. To properly handle internal MIL connectors, the nodes restriction is removed. Regarding block connectors, origin and node can lay on top of each other. ==> The graphic connect lines of MIL symbols would then also lay on top of each other. That's why two additional points can be defined, i.e. the graphic origins. They define the start point of the graphics (left and right).
	Placing left graphic origin
	Placing right graphic origin

MIL Settings Toolbar (in Project mode)

Using the MIL Settings toolbar several definitions regarding working with MIL symbols can be defined in Project mode through the corresponding buttons.

Button	Functionality	Example
	Displaying complete connector, when the final pin is contained in the group
	Displaying complete connector, when all placed pins are contained in one group
	Always displaying complete group
	Treating connectors of an assembly as unit
	Treating backshell pins as unit
	Displaying the pin's type (m/f)
	Hiding mating connector pin names
	Displaying block connector on the block's outline
	Displaying block connector outside the block
	Displaying block connector inside the block
	Color of the block connector "connection"
	Width of the block connector "connection"
	Line style of the block connector "connection"
