In EPLAN Pro Panel, you can generate the Mounting list report for 3D part placements of a layout space. Mounting lists are used to map in a report the hierarchical structure of a mounting layout in the layout space. The report can be done for a very specific part placement (mounting panel, enclosure, busbar, etc.).
In such a function-based report, the 3D part placements are evaluated for which the Output in mounting list (ID 36032) property has been activated in the property dialog. This property can be selected via property selection for all 3D objects (except for mounting surfaces). For a device with the activated property, all devices of the hierarchy level immediately below are listed in the output mounting list. The listed objects are sorted by legend item by default.
To create a mounting list, you can use the "Mounting list" report type available from the Select report dialog. During the output of the mounting list you can carry out a manual selection. In the subsequent dialog, all 3D part placements are listed for which the Output in mounting list property has been activated.
If the Output in mounting list property has been activated, for example, for an enclosure, the device data of the enclosure will be output to the header of the report. In the data area, all devices are listed that are arranged in the layout space in the hierarchy level immediately below this enclosure.
For a mounting panel placed in this enclosure, the related devices located on a lower hierarchy level are not output. If this is to be done, the Output in mounting list property will have to be activated also for the mounting panel. In this case, a second mounting list with the data of the mounting panel and the devices placed on it will be output.
Forms for mounting lists
In creating the mounting list, the form is used that was specified in the project-specific Settings: Output to pages dialog for the "Mounting list (*.f32)" form type. You can select placeholder texts from the following elements for the forms of this type in the Placeholder texts - Mounting list dialog:
- Parts data
- Part placements
- Part reference data
- Device data
- Record.
The same placeholder texts are available for selection in both the header and data area.
Filtering in the layout space navigator
If you want to know which devices have been set aside for the generation of the mounting list, create a new filter for the layout space navigator and select for such filter the Output in mounting list property as a filter criterion.
