is Deleted You have three choices:
• No. The dynamic network variable is not deleted.
• Yes. The dynamic network variable is automatically deleted.
• Ask. OpenLNS CT will prompt you to decide whether to delete
the dynamic network variable. This is the default.

Reference Shape
Alignment Select how OpenLNS CT aligns reference connection SmartShapes.
The alignment settings are applied if the Align Reference Shapes
option is set on the functional block. To set this option, right-click a
functional block, point to Display Options, and click Align
Reference Shapes if it is not already set.
Horizontal Alignment Selects how OpenLNS CT aligns overlapping connector reference
SmartShapes. You have three choices:
• Staggered Wide. Connector reference SmartShapes are
staggered horizontally, in two columns, with their centers
aligned. This is the default.
• Staggered Narrow. Connector reference SmartShapes are
staggered horizontally, in two columns, with the outermost
reference SmartShapes located close to the functional block
SmartShape and somewhat overlapping with reference
SmartShapes above and below them.
• Overlapped. Connector reference SmartShapes are not
staggered and will overlap.

Overlap Threshold
Factor Determines the point at which OpenLNS CT will overlap multiple
connector reference SmartShapes that are attached to the same
network variable SmartShape on one side of a functional block.
Overlapping connector reference SmartShapes cannot be aligned
with the network variable SmartShapes to which they are connected.
If the overlap threshold factor multiplied by the height of the
functional block SmartShape is greater than the total height of the
reference connector SmartShapes (including spacing), the reference
connector SmartShapes will not be overlapped.
The default overlap threshold factor is 1.3. For the best appearance,
keep this value below 2.
Scope: Current network, current OpenLNS CT computer
Ref SmartShape
Spacing Factor Determines the vertical spacing between multiple connector
reference SmartShapes when they are not aligned with the network
variable SmartShapes to which they are connected.
The default reference SmartShape spacing value is 1.1.
