Creating Sections

Sections are always assigned to a project option and are stored in the project. For this reason, sections must be created in the project where they will be later used.

Precondition:

You have opened a project. You have selected a schematic section in the graphical editor, or you have selected pages in the page navigator or functions in one of the project data navigators. Or you have selected objects in a layout space.

  1. Select the following menu items: Project data > Project options > Create section
  2. In the Section dialog, in the Project options group and Project option group boxes, select the project options group and the project option that the section is to be assigned to from the Name drop-down list.
  3. Alternatively, you can manually enter a new project options group and / or project option.

    The Description fields of the project options group and / or project option are made editable.

    If you leave the Project options group field empty (or delete the entry) then the project option is not assigned to a project options group.
  4. If desired, enter a description into the Description field of the project options group and / or project option.
  5. Enter a name for the section in the Name field.
  6. If desired, enter a description text into the Description field.

    The description is a multi-language text and is displayed by default in the tree view next to the name, separated by a blank and within round brackets.
  7. Click [OK].

    If you entered a new name for the project options group and / or project option then this project options group and / or project option is generated.

    The section is assigned to the (already existing or new) project option and this project option is switched on.
