Interruption points form cross-references, with two types of cross-references being distinguished:
- Star cross-reference: With a star cross-reference, an interruption point is defined as the starting point. All other interruption points of the same name refer to this starting point. At the starting point, a formattable list of the cross-references to the other interruption points is displayed. Here, you can define how many cross-references are to be displayed alongside or between each other.
- Chain cross-reference: With chain cross-references, the first interruption point refers to the second, the third to the fourth etc., i.e. the references follow from page to page.
On the first arrow of a chain, you can also display cross-references to all other arrows in the chain (one per page is configurable). These can be formatted as with the source of a star layout.
The sequence of formation of the pairs in chain interruption points can de defined in the Sort interruption points dialog. The sequence can also be defined by entering a sort code at the interruption point, where the sort code is used to affect the target number in a star layout.
Every interruption point has an opposing partner. If EPLAN can't find the opposing partner, then this is recognized as an error and is entered into the message management.
