Drawing Part Definition Points

Through a part definition point, you can store parts on graphics in a schematic that are not assigned to a device. To each part definition point you can assign (like any main function) a maximum of 50 parts.

To output the parts stored at a part definition point in a parts list or summarized parts list in a structured manner, you can enter the properties Displayed DT and Full DT at a part definition point. This way, the parts can be assigned to a specific structure identifier. Still, the part definition points are not devices and, thus, are not shown in the device navigator or the device tag list.

Precondition:

You have opened a project and are in a schematic page.

  1. Select the menu items Insert > Part definition point.

    The symbol for the part definition point hangs on the cursor.
  2. Click in the schematic to place the part definition point.
  3. In the properties dialog, you select the Parts tab and then the desired parts (and enter the values for the parts references).
  4. Enter the structure identifier on the Part definition point tab.
  5. Click [OK].

    The selected parts are then assigned to the part definition point.
