Changing Default Attributes for New Blocks

It is possible to modify the default attributes that apply to all new blocks in a database or workspace.

  1. In the Layout menu, select Edit Default Attributes.

    The ASCET options window opens in the "Default Block Layout" node. You can enter the same settings as described in Modifying the Block Attributes, but they will not affect the current block. The settings define the default attributes that are applied to all newly created components.

  2. In the "Default Block Layout" node, set the options according to your needs.
  3. Close the ASCET options window with OK.
  4. In the Layout menu, select Set Attributes to Default to apply the default attributes to the current graphical block.
