Configure your Workspace in Multisim

[MahtabZ]

     Did you know that you can change the look and feel of your Multisim workspace? Multisim is highly customizable, and allows you to change almost anything about the environment you’re working in.

     To learn how to tailor your workspace to your taste, watch these two videos. The first will teach you how to change Global Preferences, and the second will teach you how to change Sheet Properties.

Below, I have provided an overview of the main points of the videos.

Global Preferences

These preferences are common to every project you will be working on with your computer.

            To change your Global Preferences, from the toolbar go to Options » Global Preferences.

            From Global Preferences, you can change aspects of your work environment. These include the location of the Master, Corporate, and User databases and User Configuration File, what action to take once a part has been placed, mouse wheel behavior, wiring options, and language.

Sheet Properties

Sheet Properties only affect the current file you are working on. These preferences are saved with the circuit file so that if the circuit is opened on another computer, you will see the same thing.

To change the Sheet Properties, from the toolbar go to Options » Sheet Properties.

From here you can decide which attributes of the components, connectors, net names, and bus entries will be shown on the circuit. You can modify the colour scheme, whether or not to show a grid or border on the page, and wire width and bus width.

Now that you know how to modify the Global Preferences and Sheet Properties, you will find that designing a circuit in Multisim becomes faster, and this will make you more productive!
