Contact/Coil: Modifying Width

 

This topic describes how to modify the default width of contacts and coils (set in the 'Graphical editor' tab in the 'Options' dialog) for the present worksheet. The contact/coil width in other graphical worksheets is not affected.

The width set with this procedure is applied to LD objects that are inserted afterwards. The size of existing contacts/coils is not affected.

  1. Select the menu item 'Layout > Contact Width...'. The dialog 'Contact width' appears.

  2. Select a value from the 'Width' drop-down combo box and confirm the dialog.

    New contacts/coils will now be inserted with the set width.

You can also modify the default width of contacts and coils by selecting 'Project > Options | Graphical Editor tab' and editing the value for 'Contact width'. This affects all contacts and coils inserted afterwards. Existing contacts and coils keep their width.
