Module Box Dimensions
NOTE Enter at least one of the Top, Bottom, Left or Right dimension values to
assign settings specific to this module.
Sets the right, left, top, and bottom offsets for the rectangle that surrounds
the module. The optional Split Top and Split Bottom specify the offsets for a
split module where Split Top specifies the offset for the top of a split module
and Split Bottom specifies the offset for the bottom of the split module. If left
blank, AutoCAD Electrical uses the rectangle Top and Bottom values.
Line Properties
Sets the properties for the lines that make up the box. You can set the color
and linetype using the properties fields. To predefine the color, enter "COLOR
colorname" into the box. For linetype, enter "LTYPE linetypename" into the
box. See the CHPROP command in the AutoCAD Help for more information
about the various properties you can set.
If you do not want the line drawn, enter the keyword “ERASE” or “_E”. If you
want to apply some special procedure to the drawn line, for example, break
the line across terminal graphics, you can reference your custom AutoLISP
function in this box. Within your function use "(entlast)" to reference the
drawn line entity.
Select terminal information
Adds or modifies the type of terminal being used. You can select multiple
fields to edit at the same time by dragging your mouse across contiguous fields
or by holding down the Control key while selecting non-contiguous fields.
