Custom layout for circuit labels

[elc]

hello,

was wondering if it is possible to change the position and color of the circuit label text?
currently I would like to have black text while keeping the circuit color the same. (some colors are better to read then others, so we'd like to have text display in black only.)

 

 

thanks for any hints.

 

 

best,

george

Hello @elc,

 

Currently the cable pen color will always match the circuit's signal color. If you have all of your circuits attributes set to be By Class then the cable should have an outline with the same color that should make it stand out a bit better.

Hi @Nikolay Zhelyazkov

 

Is there any online resources/ manuals that covers changing the text (placement,font,size) on a circuit? I am trying to change the size of the connector type tags on the circuits.

 

Thanks

Hello @JohnWW,

 

As for the position, you can check the help site here for Connector type offset - https://app-help.vectorworks.net/2023/eng/VW2023_Guide/ConnectCAD/Specifying_ConnectCAD_settings.htm?rhmapfs=true#CSH_1939

 

As for the font, size, in VW 2023 they are defined by the CC-Circuit-Connector class which you can modify and add a text style to it.

 

Let me know if you need any further help with that.

 

Best Regards,

Thanks for the reply Nikolay 

 

Not really. Is there a simple way off moving the text on the end of the cable?

Can you share a test file showing what you have currently and what you would like to get, as of text positioning?
