You can customize virtually any aspect of Multisim, including the colors used in your design, page size, zoom level, auto-backup interval, symbol set (ANSI Y32.2 or IEC 60617) and printer setup. Your customization settings are saved individually with each design file you use so you could, for example, have one color scheme for one design and another for a different design.

You can also override the settings for individual instances (for example, change one particular component from red to orange) or for the entire design.

Customization is done in the:

  • Global Options dialog box—Use this to set up preferences that are the same for each design. These preferences can vary from computer to computer.
  • Sheet Properties dialog box—Use this to set up the preferences for the open design. These preferences are saved with the design file so that if the design is opened on another computer, it will use the same settings.
