Connector Properties dialog box

Changes made in this dialog box set defaults for new connectors added to the current drawing. They override global connector annotation property settings in the QY CAD Options dialog box and in the Dimension Style dialog box, where options on the General tab, the Annotation tab, and the Terminator and Symbol tab set defaults for the Connector annotation style.

Color

Sets the color of connector line segments.

Note:

You can change the connector line segment color but not the handle color in the Connector Properties dialog box. You can change the start and end handle colors on the Colors tab in the QY CAD Options dialog box. To learn about the options that control connector handle color, see Connector style and properties.

Jump radius/gap

Sets the size of the Jump connector arc radius, or of the Gap connector spread, as a multiple of the text height.

Example:

Connector type	Jump radius/gap	Result
Jump	Top=1 Bottom=2
Gap	Top=1 Bottom=2

You can set a default value in the Connector Properties dialog box, and then interactively change the value as you add connectors using the Jump radius/gap option on the Connector command bar. If you change the value for a connector you are editing, press Tab to update the display.

Line width

Sets the width of connector line segments.

Line type

Sets the type of connector line segments.

Text scale

Overrides the text scale factor used in annotation text.

Start/End Type and Length

The options in this section specify different terminator shapes and shape lengths for the start of a connector and the end of a connector. The first Type and Length controls set the options for the start of the connector, and the second Type and Length controls set the options for the end of the connector.

Length

Sets the terminator shape size. The value is multiplied by font size.
