foldInPlaceDirection

layoutXL foldInPlaceDirection string { "Increasing" | "Decreasing" }

Description

Controls the direction in which the fold is created relative to the location of the instance that is selected for folding.

The default is "Increasing", which means that the new folds start at the lower left of the selection when positioning the folds for horizontal and vertical orientation.

When set to "Decreasing", the new folds start at the lower right of the selection when positioning the folds for horizontal orientation, and start at the upper left of the selection when positioning the folds for vertical orientation.

If the original instance is at an orientation, such as R90, that can place the folds vertically, the Create In Place option can be used to create the new folds above or below the original instance.
