Mark

Formula to generate document marks

In this section, you can enter formulas for marking books, folders and drawings. These formulas consist of variables and text strings with + separators.

For example; the formula "Bundle" + BUNDLENO returns: Bundle 1

The Row and Column fields let you select the formula to be used for marking the rows and columns (used for cross references and origin-destination).

Origin-destination and cross references

Lets you enter the formula for the polarity origin-destination texts and the cross references texts.

Marks unique by

Used to manage the type of uniqueness for a mark.

Component: The level of uniqueness for component marks can be selected from the drop-down list. For example, if you opt for the marks to be unique by Location, it will not be possible to have two identical component marks in the same location. You can have two identical marks if they do not belong to the same location.

Terminal strip: As for components, the drop-down list is used to manage the level of uniqueness for terminal strip marks.

Cable:  Lets you manage the level of uniqueness for cable marks.

Wire and component numbering

Direction: This parameter is used to manage the priority, either horizontal or vertical.  If you select the   icon, the marks of elements aligned on the same vertical axis will be processed in priority in relation to marks of elements aligned on a horizontal axis.

Unique order number: When this box is checked, the value obtained from the Order number variable used in the marking formulas is without discontinuity over the whole project. If the box is not checked, the Order number starts again at 1 as soon as the element selected in the Marks unique by manager is modified.

For example, if the level of uniqueness of the component mark is set to Location and you have placed a symbol marked Q1 in location L1, if you uncheck the Unique order number box, the second symbol will be marked Q2 whatever location it has been inserted into. However, if you check the box, it will be marked Q1 if it is inserted in a different location and Q2 if it is inserted in location L1.

A button allows access to the Wire style manager to set the connection parameters numbering. The marks are calculated in relation to their geographical location in the drawing, starting at the top left-hand corner and working towards the bottom right-hand corner of the drawing.

Mark

You can use the IEC61346 numbering standard (=F1+A1-KA1) or Customized mark.

If you choose a customized mark, you must enter a formula for a variety of different marking systems, such as Location or Function. These formulas are made up of variables and text strings with + separators.
