Layout
Determines the overall appearance of the parametric connector, including
pin spacing and pin count.
Specifies the distance between the pin wire connections.
This value initially defaults to the Rung Spacing defined

- Spacing setting for the drawing file.
Specifies the number of pins associated with the connector.
This is required to parametrically build the connector.
Pin Count
This is an alternate Pick method for determining the Pin
Count for the new connector. You can do a fence selection
Pick
of crossed wires or you can define a starting point and
ending point in empty space. For the fence selection, a pin
exists for every wire intersection with the AutoCAD fence
line. For example, if you cross 5 wires with the fence pick
points, the pin count value will be 5. On the other hand,
if you select endpoints in empty space, the total number
of pins is based upon dividing the distance between the
two pick points by the Pin Spacing value.
Generates the connector with a fixed spacing from one pin
to the next. This is the Pin Spacing value. If the Pin Spacing
Fixed Spacing
edit box is left blank, the fixed spacing value defaults to
the drawing's ladder default spacing value.
Modifies the pin placement to have the pins coincide with
underlying wires. The connector stretches or compresses
At Wire Crossings
to match up with underlying wires as it inserts on to the
drawing.
If the connector has more pins than underlying wires, the
excess pins are added at the end of the connector using
the default fixed spacing value.
Specifies either the starting pin number for an incrementing
series of pin numbers or the actual comma-delimited list

of pin numbers to be used on the connector. For example,
a pin list entry of "1" for a connector with the Pin Count
