Generating Cable Assignment Diagrams

Cable assignment diagrams are generated in combination with a form for the summarized parts list. Forms for cable assignment diagrams make it possible to output data for the cable diagram and data for the summarized parts list. A cable assignment diagram is generated for each cable type. The cable assignment diagram of a cable type thus contains all cables of that cable type.

Precondition:

A cable assignment diagram form *.f08 is entered at every cable to be included in the report.

In order to specify forms for the Next form you have to place an insertion point for the next form in that form.

Select the following commands: Tab Master data > Command group Plot frames / forms > Drop-down button Form > Open.
Select the Cable assignment diagram (*.f08) entry from the File type field, select the form and click [Open].
Select the following commands: Tab Insert > Command group Text > Drop-down button Forms > Insertion point of next form.
In the Insertion point of next form dialog, select the "Summarized parts list" entry from the Report type field.

All cables for which the same cable assignment diagram form has been entered, are output together in one report block. If you have used a separate cable assignment diagram form for each cable type, a report block is generated for each cable type. The report block contains reporting pages for the cable assignment diagram and the summarized parts list. A possible sorting is only taken into consideration within a report block.
