Creating a Distribution

Distributions are required when you are using group characteristic lines or maps.

  1. In the Elements palette or toolbar, click the Distribution button.

    The Properties editor opens. Since distributions are created as parameters, the non-volatile attribute is set and the option is disabled.

  2. Adjust the element properties to your needs and click OK.

    If you exceeded the maximum size of the element in the Dimension fields, the following warning opens:

    The possible max size has to be between 1 and Closed<limit>.
    Please adjust your settings.

  3. Confirm the warning with OK.
  4. If you are working in the block diagram editor for SWCs, place the element in the drawing area.
  5. If necessary, re-open the Properties editor and adjust the size.
