Presetting for Parts at Electrical Connections

You carry out project-wide presettings for the properties of electrical connections in the Electrical engineering tab of the project settings for connections. You can now assign a default value for the part to all individual electrical connections via the Part number field. (Menu path: Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Connections > Properties.)

Benefit:

You do not have to manually assign a part at each connection. This saves time during the configuration, in particular if you frequently use the same connection part. Calculating the fill capacity during routing is possible because a part is assigned to all connections.

Enter the part number of the connection part here, or click [...] to open part selection and select a part there. The part number is transferred into the Part tab of the property dialog of connections and is used as the default value for new connections. We recommend using a part without length and price specifications. To calculate the fill capacity during routing, an external diameter must be entered at the part.

The settings in the Electrical engineering tab now only still apply to individual connections (the "individual connection" value is set for the Connection: Association property) but not to cable connections. The default values for cable connections (e.g. Cross-section) originate from the cable part.
