Analyzing Object Information and Attributes
 |
This task explains how to display information about objects (runs, connectors) as you move the pointer over them. It also shows how to select an object and display additional information. | |
 |
You use the Analyze Item
command to display information for runs and connectors as you
pass the pointer over them. This information can include line IDs, nominal size of runs and parts,
and XYZ coordinates of connectors. The type of information shown will
depend on the object and the product you are using.
Additionally, you can select an object and open a dialog box that provides more detailed information for the selected object. See also Display Information About Routables. |
