Generate project documentation

  1. In Project Builder, select a library or the version of a library.
  2. Users with the "Designer" role see all published and unpublished versions of a library in Project Builder. Users with the "User" role only see the published versions of a library.

    Published versions are indicated by the icon next to the version name.

  3. Specify a target project.
  4. Select one of the following options:
    • Select a project which you have already opened in the EPLAN Platform.
    • Create a new target project.
  5. Specify a template, a storage location and a project name for your target project.
  6. The use of the "period" character is impermissible in project names.

  7. Click Next.
  8. Select a configurator.
  9. Make your configuration as desired. You have the following options:
    • Enter values for the configuration variables. The values of the referenced macro variables are replaced by the values of the configuration variables during the generation of the project documentation.
    • Specify whether macros are to be considered when the project documentation is generated. To this purpose activate or deactivate the check box of the corresponding macro.
    • Enter the desired structure identifiers for the macros. After the project documentation has been generated, the structure identifiers are available in the page navigator of the EPLAN Platform.
  10. Click Generate.
  11. The project documentation is generated.

Note

  • You have to enter a value at all the variables that begin with an *. Otherwise the project documentation cannot be generated.
  • All the elements whose usage has already been specified in Designer are not displayed in the Project Builder.
  • All the variable values are stored for the specified target project. If the configurator on which your configuration is based changes, you have to repeat the configuration.
  • If you have specified settings for logging a library in Designer, a log is sent to a specific server address when the project documentation is generated. Further information is available here.
