Dialog call:You have opened a project. You have opened the Settings: Cable numbering dialog, e.g. via the Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Devices > Cable (automatic) menu items. In the Format tab, you have selected the "From project structure" format. Select the Sequence tab in the Settings: Cable numbering dialog.
In this tab specify the order in which cables should be numbered. The chief question is what devices are attached to the ends of the cable.
Overview of the main dialog elements:
If this check box is selected, manual cables (cables on which the cable definition line is not automatically placed) are numbered first. Cables with automatically placed cable definition lines are numbered after that.
In addition, manual cables are numbered according to their graphical sequence. The Number terminal- / plug-oriented setting no longer has significance for manual cables.
This setting has priority over the setting in the Number cables at plugs first group box.
Number terminal- / plug-oriented:
If this check box is selected, cables attached to terminals or plugs are numbered first. Cables are numbered in the sequence of the terminal strips, whereby the source DT is the deciding factor.
Terminals and plugs are treated equally here i.e., first all cables are numbered that are attached to terminals or plugs. Then cables that are not attached to plugs or terminals are numbered.
If the check box is not selected, cables are numbered according to their graphical sequence, schematic logic in the plot frame, and the position of the cable definition main function.
Number cables at same targets consecutively:
If this check box is selected, cables leading to a common target are numbered consecutively. The next cable that doesn't lead to that target is numbered after that.
There are four cables in the schematic: W1, W2, W3, and W4. Of these, W1 and W3 lead to terminal strip X7, and W2 and W4 lead to X8.
Selected increment: 1
Prior to numbering: W1, W2, W3, W4
After numbering: W1 remains W1, W2 becomes W3, W3 becomes W2, W4 remains W4
This setting can start the numbering for cables that end on plugs.
- No: It does not matter whether a cable ends on a plug.
- All: Among the selected cables, the ones that end on plugs are numbered first. If the Number manual cables first check box is also selected, then the cables will be numbered in the following order:
– Manual cables that terminate at plugs
– Manual cables that do not terminate at plugs
– Automatic cables that terminate at plugs
– Automatic cables that do not terminate at plugs. - Only those automatically generated: Among the selected cables, the automatically generated ones that end on plugs are numbered first. If the Number manual cables first check box is also selected, then the cables will be numbered in the following order:
– Manual cables (independent of plugs)
– Automatic cables that terminate at plugs
– Automatic cables that do not terminate at plugs.
