Class Properties
Class Properties are special settings applied on a per-class basis.
By defining class properties it is possible to view objects in pages specific
to the object type (e.g. Design Object Terminals, Design Object Wires and Design
Object Nozzles) and make available relevant updating options for objects of
a particular class.
Enabling Pages for Viewing Specific Objects
Each of the following four properties, if selected, enables the viewing of
the objects in specific pages as follows:
- Can have Terminals - If selected, objects of this class can be
viewed in the Design Object Terminals page.
- Can have Connections or Wires - If selected, objects of
this class can be viewed in the Design Object Wires page.
- Can have Mechanical Nozzles - If selected, objects of this
class can be viewed in the Design Object Nozzles page.
- Can be Nozzle Part - This is the only class property exclusive
to design parts. Use this property to relate a design part to a specific
nozzle (e.g., a gasket to a pump nozzle).
Update Object from Design Part Properties
The following two class properties enable updates from a design part to be
automatically made on the connected object:
- Update Terminals from Part - enables all objects in the class
to have their terminals updated from connected design part's terminals.
Used in conjunction with Can have Terminals.
- Update Wires from Part - enables all objects in the class to
have their wires updated from connected design part's wires. Used in conjunction
with Can have Connections or Wires.
