Sequence of Representation Types for Global Editing and Reporting

If a function has multiple representation types whose common properties contain differing data, a decision is made based on the representation type about which properties will be included in global editing and reporting. EPLAN has a fixed sequence for this. For the Editing sequence of grouped objects there is also a fixed sequence.

Sequence for functions

This is the sequence of representation types used by EPLAN for including the common properties of all representation types for a function in Properties (global) mode:

  • Multi-line
  • Overview
  • Pair cross-reference
  • Single-line
  • P&I diagram
  • Topology
  • Panel layout
  • Detailed panel layout
  • 3D mounting layout
  • Functional
  • Function overview (fluid power).

EPLAN therefore first takes the properties of the multi-line representation type. If the function has no multi-line representation type or if the associated multi-line representation type field for the property is empty, EPLAN includes the property of the overview function, etc.

Note:

The sequence of the representation types is not relevant for properties with the field type "Boolean (True / False)". Such a property (for example the Main function) check box is considered as activated for the function during global editing and during reporting if it is activated at any representation type.

For global editing activities, properties in other representation types are only synchronized if there are already entries in the respective fields. Empty fields remain empty.

When reporting and synchronizing functions that have multiple representation types and whose common properties contain differing data, the properties are taken into consideration in the same sequence as with global editing.

Sequence for connections

The representation types of connections are taken into account during global editing, reporting and synchronizing in the following order:

  • Multi-line
  • 3D mounting layout
  • Single-line
  • P&I diagram
  • Topology.
