Category - Editing Wires
These articles provide guidance on editing wires in AN-SOF, including functions to transform wire coordinates and manipulate groups of wires in the AN-SOF workspace.
Articles
Any wire in the workspace can be selected in three different ways: 1. By clicking on the Select Wire button (arrow icon) on the toolbar and then...
Right-clicking on a wire brings up a menu. Choosing the Modify command from the pop-up menu shows the Modify dialog box, where the geometrical parameters and attributes of the selected wire can be modified...
Right-clicking on a wire brings up a menu. Choosing the Delete command from the pop-up menu deletes the selected wire with all sources and loads placed on it...
AN-SOF allows us to select a group of wires to edit them all at once. Click on the Selection Box button on the main toolbar. By left clicking on the workspace and dragging a box with the mouse, multiple wires can be selected...
Click on the Selection Box button in the main toolbar. Then, left clicking on the workspace a box to select multiple wires can be expanded...
