 From the pop–up menu, select the Rotate Right or Rotate Left
command.
Setting Attribute Text Style
Attribute text style is set globally for the entire design. There is no way to
set text style for an individual item.
IMPORTANT: Changing the attribute text style affects all visible attributes throughout the design.
LogicWorks may alter text alignment and position to accommodate a new text
size.
To set the global text style:
 Choose the Design Preferences command in the Schematic menu.
 Click on the Attr Text... button.
 Select the desired font, style and size, then click OK.
 Click OK in the Design Preferences dialog.
Depending on the size of the design, there may be some delay at this point.
The program must check all visible attribute items to see if their position
and framing is affected by the text change.
Using Subcircuits
LogicWorks provides the ability to have a device symbol in a schematic
actually represent an arbitrary circuit block. This subcircuit can be used to
implement a simulation model for a device of arbitrary complexity. Subcir-
cuits can be nested to any desired depth, so devices containing subcircuits
can themselves be used as subcircuits for more complex devices. For clar-
ity, a device symbol that represents an internal circuit will be called a “sub-
circuit device” in the following text.
