Populating shapes

ConnectMaster uses these master shapes to perform automatic populating actions for multiplexers and containers. They are to be adjusted to the specific component types.

The ConnectMaster stencil contains the following examples of populating shapes:

Difference between element shape ó group shape

Unlike a group shape that represents the element itself and its contained sub elements, a ConnectMaster shape always represents only the element itself.  

Example:

A container “A” that contains a strip “Strip A” and a terminal strip “Clamp B” is represented as

•ConnectMaster shape only as container “A”

•[Group] shape as container "A" with the [Element] shape "Strip A" and "Clamp B".

Sort columns on table shape

With the “CM: Sort Table” function in the shape menu, the columns of a table shape can be resorted via a dialogue box. All changes are immediately executed on the shape. For this, the dialogue box does not need to be closed.

Please note! If user-defined layout master shapes are saved to the stencil, their name(s) must always be put in square brackets ([     ]).
