Menu: Edit --> Options

Tab: 'Zoom' : Set the magnification.

Magnification

10% to 3200 %

Tab: 'Page' : Set the page dimensions.

Standard page sizes	A4, A3, A2, A1.
Orientation	Set horizontal or vertical orientation.
Custom page size	Set width and height in cm.

Tab: 'Print' : Set the print options

Border	Sets the print border in cm. This is the distance around the sheet that the printer is not capable of printing on.
Colour print	Allows colour printing. Note the background colour is always white. To print a coloured background place a filled rectangle behind all the other schematic items (put it on a different layer so that it does not have to be selected- see layers).

Print command string

Enter a system command here that accepts a postscript file to be printed. Printing for details.

Print image command string

Enter a system command here that translates a postscript file into a png image. Note that canvas.ps and canvas.png must be present in the command string. see Printing for details.

Tab: 'System' : Set the system options

Auto connections	Controls whether connections are draw at wire junctions automatically (see connections).
Orthogonal on/off	Controls whether wires are dragged orthogonally (see wires).
Drag on/off	Controls whether wires (lines) are dragged.
Line/wire merge	Controls whether wires (lines) are merged when drawn across each other.
Flash highlights	Controls whether highlights are flashed e.g. for netlist highlighter.
Convert Win text 10 to 8	Converts text size when pasted to schematic from. Library parts look better in windows.
Attribute viewer	Turns display of attribute data on/off - useful for slower systems.
Show pop up data	Controls whether pop up data is displayed when the mouse is held over a symbol/object.
Draw cursor Icon	Controls display of the symbol drawn alongside the snap grid cursor.
Show tip of the day	Allow the interface to be displayed at start up.
Import modules	See section : Modules.
Show tip now	Start the 'tip of the day interface' (use "apply all" first).
Cursor edge scroll	Control whether to scroll around the screen if at 1cm from schematic page border. Scroll is performed for some drawing actions e.g. line and when selecting (and Left mouse button is pressed).

Tab: 'Schematic' : Set schematic options

Connection dot size	Connection dot radius as a floating point number.
Max layers	Number of layers for the schematic.
Wire/pin width	The size pins and wires are set to when drawn manually or automatically.
Bus width	The width of line used to draw buses.
Wire/bus draw. layer	Layer to draw wires and busses on (need for automatic wire/bus update).
Accurate slow grid	draw an easier grid in windows 95,98 as some missing functionality in these os's.

Tab: 'Colour' : Set colour scheme (see also object colours)

Edit colours	Edit (and save) the current colour scheme.
Select tab	Select which colour scheme to use.
Delete colour scheme	Delete a colour scheme.

Tab: 'Global parts' : Set global part options

The text items placed here such as BAR_GND, CHASSIS_GND, POWER_GND, VOLT_BAR are library part names that must be treated as global parts by the netlister. These parts unlike all other parts when netlisted use the value of the part to label the net. Thus for a 5V VOLT_BAR all nets connected to the volt bar are labeled as 5V. With other volt bar symbols (that have a value of 5V) these nets are also labeled with 5V. At the end of netlisting these nets are merged and so the VOLT_BAR is therefore defining a global net and is therefore a global part.
