custom socket label

[switchonet]

Is it possible to add the own custom labels the drop down menue? I cloned "skt_txt_L" and renamed it in "skt_txt_xxx_L" but it does not appear in the drop down menue.

 

If there should be also a topic in the forum please apologize me, but I have not found it.

Hi @switchonet

 

These symbol name selections are fixed in the code of the object. The reason being that we need specific symbols for each orientation (L, R, T, B) and each type (IN, IO, OUT).  Tell me a bit more about what you want to do. Maybe we can find a way without changing the code?

Hello @Conrad Preen,

 

for example you can chooase betwenn skt_txt_vif_, skt_txt_vda_, skt_txt_tp_. For these types exist the socket labeling symbols for example skt_txt_vda_L etc. I like to add another socket type symol skt_txt_user1_ with the sockelt lableing symbols skt_txt_user_L etc.

 

I understand the system, I choose the type and connectCAD is taking the labeling symbol L,R,T,B,X but it only takes the symbol types which are given. 

 

At the end it would be also great to have the same for the devices, so that I can choose between dev_label_center and dav_label_center_it

Hi Jens,

 

Would it work for now to customise one of the existing socket symbol types in a template?

Hi Conrad,

 

I have already condidered to solve it like this but I hoped, it could exist be a better solution. For the sockets I could use it like this. For devices it would be great to have more choices for the device labels.

 

regards Jens

Thanks Jens

 

Believe me I would be happy to extend the customisation capabilities of sockets, but I don't want to lead you to places that in the future may not be supported. So please bear with me on this. Regarding device labels check this thread

 

Best

Hey guys,

it's possible using Data Vizulization
