The cross-references displayed in the project are basically composed of the full device tag, the page (including the defined separator before the page) and the position in the plot frame used, which is output as a column and/or row designation. Cross-references allow you to quickly find the functions of a device represented as distributed over a project. The relevant function can be quickly found through the page, column and/or row information. Page, column, and row are only displayed when a device identifier (for example, for the "Higher-level function" identifier block) is not equal to the superior level (page). The following rules apply to this display optimization:

• As the superior level, only the current page is visible, meaning that no structure box, etc., is taken into account.
• [Separator]Page[Separator]Column[Separator]Row is displayed when a device identifier (for example, for the "Higher-level function" identifier block) is not equal to the superior layer (page).
• If the identifying identifier blocks are identical to the superior level, they can be suppressed.
• If all identifying properties are identical, the page number can also be suppressed.
• [Separator]Page[Separator]Line is never hidden.
  If the cross-reference only points to the column (the row), the cross-reference element is on the same page.

The following settings can be made in addition to the automatic optimization:

Precondition:

You have opened a project.

1. Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Cross-references / contact image > General
2. Select the Apply cross-reference abbreviation rules to DTs check box if the rules above are not only to be used for the page information but also for the full DT.
3. Select the Suppress identical page check box, if the page number is also to be suppressed; this is only possible for cross-references for which all identifying properties are identical.
4. Click [OK].
