Symbol Properties

The Toolset Diagram Editor (DGE) has a Symbol Properties dialogue in which the centre position and width and height of a selected symbol can be controlled.

For symbols which are drawn in different orientations depending on the direction of their incoming connection symbols, the dialogue automatically applies the specified width and height based on the symbol’s current orientation.

Some types of symbols permit further options to be set on a per-symbol basis. The per-symbol properties that can be set, albeit not for all symbol types, are:

Whether the symbol’s full symbol number is shown, or just the last element of it
Whether the symbol’s boundary is drawn solid or dashed
Whether the symbol’s name should be hidden
Whether the symbol’s current orientation can be locked, to make it immune to any further changes in the direction of its incoming connection symbols
