These check boxes are only available if the symbols / functions have no connection definition points!
Select the check box Use as default for connections if this saved arrangement is to be used as a default for "normal" connection definition points at all additional usages of these symbol variants. This property arrangement is also used for connection definition points that arise during connection numbering.
Activate the check box Use as default for cable connections if this saved arrangement is to be used as a default for connection definition points of cable connections at all additional usages of the symbol variant. Connection definition points for cable connections are placed in the graphical editor when drawing cables / shields or during Drag & Drop from the cable navigator or connection navigator.
The settings carried out here are also displayed in the dialog Configure property arrangements - <Project name>. There you can edit all the property arrangements at a central point.
