Microstrip Wizard
ICON: 
MENU: Tools → Transmission Line Wizards → Microstrip Line
MODULE(S): EM.Tempo, EM.Picasso, EM.Ferma
FUNCTION: Draws the geometry of a microstrip line segment on a conductor-backed single-layer dielectric substrate
TO TRANSLATE AN OBJECT SELECTION:
- Activate the Translate Tool.
- Click on the object(s) you want to translate one by one and press the Enter Key when done.
- Next, you have to establish the translation vector. Left-click on a point in the project workspace to specify the start of the vector.
- Drag the mouse to draw a ghost of the translation vector in the desired direction. Left-click a second point to specify the end of the vector.
- The object selection is translated by the specified vector.
- A dialog pops up on the lower right corner of the screen where you can fine-tune or modify the translation vector before finalizing the translate operation.
- Using the Translate Dialog, you can also simply type in the final destination coordinates for the object selection.
