Changing Predefined Placeholders
You can change the notation of placeholders in the text and extend them with other function
characters. Placeholders always begin with the '@' sign. The following characters are interpreted
as functions.
To display, e.g., TEND, HMIN, and HMAX on the Sheet, you can insert a text element with the
following string: HMIN: @TR.HMIN, HMAX: @TR.HMAX, TEND: @TR.TEND. The display
on the sheet appear in this form: HMIN: 5u, HMAX: 1m, TEND: 15m. If you copy this text element
and insert it into a different sheet, it will display the active values for these simulation
parameters for the sheet where it has been inserted.
Size and Form of Text Elements
Click a 2nd time;
the edit mode is active
Set the cursor at the
desired insertion point in the text
The text is inserted at the cursor position. The notation of other placeholders can thus be
changed to display other information.
The size of the text element either automatically adapts to the text inside or remains a fixed
size independent of the number of characters in the text field. The adaptation depends on the
settings in the property menu of the text element. Double-click the element or choose ED-
IT>PROPERTIES to open the property dialog.
