You can change an auxiliary function into a main function by assigning the Main function property to the auxiliary function. The auxiliary function is changed into a main function. The original main function is then converted to an auxiliary function.
Preconditions:
- You have opened a project.
- You have opened the graphical editor or a navigator.
- Select an auxiliary function.
- Select the following commands: Tab Devices > Command group Devices > Drop-down button Extras > Assign main function
The function is assigned the Main function property. The parts data are copied to the new main function and deleted at the old one.
Tip:
When converting auxiliary functions into main functions, multiple selection of auxiliary functions is also possible. This is useful, for example, if you first draw your schematic in single-line representation during the configuration. This turns all single-line functions into main functions. When you subsequently create the multi-line schematics, the multi-line functions are to become main functions. The conversion of multi-line functions into main functions is only possible if each device is only contained once in the multiple selection.
Assign main terminal
If the same terminal occurs in different representation types, you can change the main terminal. This functionality is analog to the assignment of main functions.
- Mark the terminal that is to be the main terminal.
- Select the following commands: Tab Devices > Command group Terminals > Drop-down button Extras > Assign main terminal The marked terminal becomes a main terminal, the parts data are copied to the new main terminal and deleted at the original one.
