Block Handles and General Indicators

You can customize the following diagram-level block properties. These settings apply to all blocks of all types within the diagram and cannot be overridden at the block level.

• The properties for a highlighted block, including:
  • The colors used for the handles that appear when you are resizing a block or connecting blocks.
  • The colors used for the caption, border and fill (i.e., the area background).
  • The fill style (i.e., how the color is applied to the area).
• Flag settings:

In BlockSim, can be used to indicate anything you want. For example, each flag could represent a level of analysis that has been completed. These flags are not used by BlockSim for analyses or simulations.

In Weibull++, the block flags are used to mark blocks that represent a data sheet that has been changed and has not been calculated or a data sheet that has since been deleted.

• Block flag size: Block flags, which are added by selecting one or more blocks, right-clicking one of the blocks and choosing Set Block Flag.

• Block flag borders: The style (e.g., solid, dash, etc.), color and thickness of the border for block flags.
• Cross out lines for blocks: In BlockSim diagrams, the style, color and thickness of the line that is used to cross out blocks that are set as failed. Blocks can be set as failed by selecting the Set block as failed option in the Block Properties window. You can also set this option by right-clicking the block and choosing Set Block as Failed.
