The property arrangement specifies the arrangement of the placed and their display at a function. The settings for the are also stored at the property arrangement.
The property arrangements are saved project-specifically and are assigned to the symbol variant for which it was created. Therefore such a property arrangement is only available for with the same symbol variant. For in the the property arrangements are assigned to the function definition and are correspondingly available for placements with the same function definition respectively.
You can user-defined property arrangements both at the components or at the 3D part placement itself or at the configuration in the configuration dialog.
The configuration dialog Configure property arrangements provides an overview of all the property arrangements available in the project. This dialog allows you to export the property arrangements of several selected part placements or components and to import them into another project. In addition you have the possibility to verify the usage of the user-defined property arrangements and to remove property arrangements not used.
You can specify a property arrangement for a component or a part placement in the Display tab in the by using the drop-down list Property arrangement . Alternatively you have the following options:
When editing functions in tables you can display the Property arrangement column and select a property arrangement from the drop-down list. The list contains all the property arrangements that are available for the respective symbol variant.
When creating for external editing, you can select the property arrangement in the Settings: External editing dialog as format element, thereby considering the respective data during export and import.
In the property dialog of you can use the property Property arrangement ( 19307) and assign the user-defined property arrangements as value sets via a variable. The corresponding property arrangements have to exist in the project to this purpose.
You can also assign existing property arrangements through a user-defined button in the toolbar. To do so use the Customize dialog to select the action XEsSetPropertyAction and use the ID 19307 of the Property arrangement property as the value for the PropertyId parameter.
Preconditions:
You have opened a project page in the graphical editor.
You have created at least one user-defined property arrangement.
Select one or more functions that use a user-defined property arrangement in the graphical editor or in a project data navigator. Or select a part placement in a layout space.
Select the menu item Edit > Text > Reset property arrangement . The property arrangement is reset to the default setting for the selected functions / part placements. This is either the setting "Default setting" or the property arrangement that you have specified as the default.
Tip:
You can also restore the default settings directly in the property dialog. In the Display tab, select the "Default setting" entry from the Property arrangement drop-down list; all your settings will then be replaced by the defaults.
Notes:
When you overwrite a user-defined property arrangement, the modified display settings are transferred automatically to all the functions / part placements that use this property arrangement. This behavior also applies to the importing of property arrangements. If you overwrite one or more property arrangements during importing, the modified display settings are also automatically transferred to all the functions / part placements that use the property arrangements.
During the copying and pasting of pages, layout spaces, functions or part placements into a different project or when inserting , the user-defined property arrangements are compared. The name of the property arrangement at the function / part placement is retained if the property arrangements are identical or if the property arrangement does not yet exist in the project. If a property arrangement with the same name already exists in the project and is not identical with the property arrangement at the function / part placement, the project setting Apply property arrangements from the project decides which property arrangement is to be used.
The property selection is opened through the (Edit) button. This makes it possible to replace a property in the property arrangement by another one (for example the property DT (displayed) by the property DT (full) ).
