   Figure 1. The Create FEM Line Port dialog.

2. Specify the port position using one of the following workflows:
   • The edges (or a connected set of free edges that form a continuous straight line) of the port. Under Specify port, click as an edge.
   • The start point and end point of the FEM line port (in global coordinates). Under Specify port, click as points.
3. [Optional] If the polarity of the port is to be reversed, select the Reverse polarity check box.
4. In the Label field, add a unique label for the FEM line port.
5. Click Create to create the port and to close the dialog.
