Adding an XY Element

Use the CBElement command with the XY option to add an XY element to a CustomBlock definition.

An XY element specifies the X and Y properties for the Block reference.

2. Specify the XY option.
3. Optionally, specify the properties:
   • Name
   • Label
   • Chain
   • Description
   • Palette
   • Value set

   You can always modify the element properties in the Properties palette.

4. In the graphics area, specify the main points of the element.
5. Specify the labels location in the CustomBlock definition.
6. Specify the number of grip points to appear in the Block reference:
   • 0. No grip points.
   • 1. A grip point at the endpoint of the element.
   • 2. A grip point at the base point and endpoint.
   • 4. Grip points at all four corners of the element.
