Sectors

 

We have introduced the Sector concept to simplify the insertion of modules within the areas and to allow the designer to realize all the different strings of the strings.

A Sector is a portion of the area bounded by a closed polyline, each area can contain multiple Sectors. To make a Sector use the Add Sector command. When you create an area a standard sector is automatically created, this Sector has the same geometry of the area minus than an offset. In many situations, this sector is sufficient for positioning strings. But often it is not possible, or you do not want, to include strings regularly in the Sector, in this case it is appropriate to create a different set of Sectors. Each sector can be edited and moved, but it must always remain completely within a single area.

 

The program make module placement only within the Sectors and the positioning parameters refer to the Sectors where the strings are inserted. For this reason, the user of the program must properly learn the use of the Sectors because it is a tool that simplifies and enhances the positioning capabilities of the modules

 

The program does not allows overlay Sectors in an area

Note that the length of the strings can be different for each Sector
