First pin: you can set whether to display the first pin and set the parts to display in the String Filter dialog based on the reference, part and package names. For example, when selecting the Prefix and entering FL in the string filter dialog, all first pins of the reference name starting with the string FL are selected in the reference list, as shown below.

Figure 4.

• Exception: Select a part that excludes the first pin marking.
• Automatically except for 2pin passive device which names are start from R, L, or C: Exclude the two-pin passive device automatically, which starts with R, L, and C.

Second Pin: You can set whether to display the second pin and setting the same as the first pin.

This menu is used when directly specifying the marking position of the first pin.

• Table
  • Filter Type: Specify the filter type as either DB file or part name.
  • Filter/DB File Path: Specify the filter condition or part DB file path by double-clicking the column.
  • Pin Name: Specify the pin name to display as the first pin.
• Add: Add a new item to the table.
• Delete: Delete a selected item from the table.
• Edit DB: Edit a selected DB file by running the Edit Component DB. Refer to the [Appendix] Edit Component DB in this manual.

You can set whether to check the comment (Cmt) column in the reference list according to the criteria of the width, height, and component bound.

Figure 5.

• Example 1) Check parts with size (width and height) over one by selecting Upper Bound.
• Example 2) Check parts with size (width and height)) less than one by selecting Lower Bound.

This function highlights and displays the part to the user-defined color that matches with the entered property information and the value. For example, if a part with a value of 0.1uF is displayed in green, enter a value for the Title (case insensitive), 0.1uF for the Comment, set the color in green, and click Apply.

Figure 6.

A component group can be specified to the user-defined color through the information of the reference name and part name. In addition, part information and user-defined comments can be displayed.

• Select Type of Component Group: Select a type to define a component group among Reference Name, Part Name, Package Name, and Component DB.
• Component Group Content: Set the string filter for defining the component group.
• In the above example, parts starting with the reference name C are in a component group.
• When you select the Select Type of Component Group as DB, you can load a pre-defined component DB file from your computer. For more detailed information on how to create or edit a DB file, refer to Appendix Edit Component DB in this manual.
• Property: Display the property information of the selected component group.
  • Default Comment: Enter the title of the property information to be displayed.
  • Alternative Comment: To display the alternative component information, select the title of the property.

First Pin: Display the polarity mark by designating the part that shows the polarity at the first pin. You can set the parts to display in the string filter dialog based on the reference, part, and package names. For example, when entering FL after selecting Prefix in the string filter dialog, the polarity mark displays at the first pin of the reference name that starts with FL (case insensitive).

• Second Pin: Display the polarity mark by designating the part that shows the polarity at the second pin. You can set the parts to display in the string filter dialog based on the reference, part, and package names.

For the parts marked with polarity at the specific location, the marking shape, location, and target components can be set directly.

• Marking Type: Select the shape of the polarity mark.
  • Point: Display the polarity mark in dot. Marking position is selected among Left Top, Left Bottom, Right Top, Right Bottom, Top, Bottom, Left, Right, First Pin, or Second Pin.
