Note:
Ensure that nested DTs are excluded from numbering.
Overview of the main dialog elements:
The scheme selected here specifies in which sequence cables are numbered, which properties are to be displayed in the cable DT and how they and formatted. Use [...] to open the Settings: Cable numbering dialog where you manage and edit the schemes.
Enter the start value for the DT counter.
Enter the value here to be used to increment the counter of the DT.
Select this check box if you would only like to renumber newly generated or copied cables. The DT of the already numbered cables is retained. The cables with "?" in the identifier will be numbered.
If the check box is deselected, all of the cable DTs are renumbered.
In the following example, start value and increment are set to 1.
Prior to numbering: W2 W? W3 W5
Activated check box: W2 W1 W3 W5
Deactivated check box: W1 W2 W3 W4.
