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
