Everything inside a structure box is allocated to a different identifier structure than that which is defined in the page properties. The components then have the same relationship to the structure box as they normally have to the page. This assumption of the DT also occurs if only identifier blocks like higher-level function and mounting location are entered in a component in the structure box.

Precondition:

You have opened a project and are viewing a schematic in the graphical editor.

1. Insert > Box / connection point / mounting panel > Structure box
2. Draw the rectangle representing the box.
3. Enter the device data in the structure box-specific properties dialog.
4. In the Identifier tab, click [...] in the Full DT field.
5. Accept the default for the DT or make new entries for the identifier blocks if you would like to modify the structure.

   Note:

   If you enter new structure identifiers in the Full DT dialog, they are inserted according to the user settings for identifiers (option Enter new identifiers in alphabetical order or Add new identifiers to the end) in the table of identifiers. If necessary, you can also set another sorting of new structure identifiers in structure identifier management later on.

6. Click [OK].
   
   The structure box is inserted into the project with all its properties.
