Scaling Already Placed Symbols in Schematic

To define a scale of an already placed symbol in the schematic the factor can be defined and Text size defined in database can be adjusted.

 

Therefore the Display tab is available in the Symbol Properties dialog:

 

 

Display

Scaling Factor

Factor

Displays the scale of the selected symbol.

 

Note

  • Changeable/expandable symbols cannot be scaled (symbols with the Option yes in the Symbol Properties).

  • The system does not verify whether symbol graphics are displayed outside the sheet after scaling.

  • When executing the Update in Project command the scale is not changed.

Text size defined in database

Check this option to keep the text size when scaling. This option only effects the current change, i.e. depending on the option, the system determines the factor for the change currently to be executed, and texts are scaled by this factor, or not.

Size

Length

The length depends on the horizontal scale (to the right).

 

Note

  • With replicable symbols selected only one option is active as the symbol can either be scaled horizontally or vertically! The valid direction is defined by the space requirement which can be edited in DBE mode.

  • When adjusting the length and the width at the same time the length is adjusted to the scale if necessary.

Width

The width depends on the vertical scale (to the top).

 

Note

With replicable symbols selected only one option is active as the symbol can either be scaled horizontally or vertically! The valid direction is defined by the space requirement which can be edited in DBE mode.
