Pre-planning: Links

Through the use of links you can define dependencies between different segments (for example PCT loops, PCT loop functions, etc.) in the pre-planning, have them displayed in the project and in the schematic, and output in reports.

Editing links and linked segments

Actions that you carry out at a link are carried out for the linked segment. For example you open the property dialog of the linked segment by using the popup menu item Properties. Please also note the following points:

Displaying the linked segments

The indexed property Linked segments: Name [1-10] (ID 44063) is available in the property dialog of the segments in order to have those segments that are linked to a particular segment displayed at the segment. The complete designation of a linked segment is displayed as a value.

At a corresponding configuration of the property arrangements this information is also displayed at the placed segments in the schematic.

Consideration in reports

The links and the segments for which the links were created can be output in the pre-planning reports through the placement of corresponding placeholder texts in the pre-planning forms.

The following elements are available for the forms of the pre-planning reports in the Placeholder texts - <Form type> dialog:

Links to the connection planning objects

The dependencies between the segments that are entered as source and target segments at the connection planning objects and the connection planning objects can be made visible by means of links in the tree of the pre-planning navigator. In contrast to the manually inserted links, these "automatic" links can not be deleted. With the popup menu item Go to (cross-referenced) you can jump from the link in the pre-planning navigator to the linked connection planning object.
