Part Navigator

The Part navigator dialog is a dialog designed for selecting components in the workspace / workdesk or symbols in the nailboard. It is opened when placing Library items or adding bookmarks.

Note:

The part navigator's title bar differs according to environment.

Part navigator toolbar

In the top part of the Part navigator dialog there are several control elements for managing libraries and selecting parts / symbols.

Categories

This section displays the categories of the active library in a hierarchical tree structure. The content differs according to the following situations:

Parts list

This list, by default in the center of the dialog, displays the complete content of the currently selected category (unless narrowed down by a query). It is the point where parts and symbols can be selected for further actions like placement in workspace / workdesk or adding as bookmarks.

The appearance of the parts list can be customized. It is possible to determine individually for each part type which columns are to be displayed or hidden and also their order: Right-click on the header to open the Select visible properties dialog. Here you can select the part type from the top drop-down list and in the list below determine the display of certain properties by activating / deactivating the corresponding check boxes. Select a row and use one of the Move <direction> buttons on the right to determine the sequence of the properties to be displayed.

Preview

This section serves for displaying a graphical representation of the selected part / symbol (as determined in EPLAN Harness proD Library).

User-defined properties

This tab displays the user-defined properties determined for the selected part / symbol in EPLAN Harness proD Library.

Variants

Note:

This section is only available when the part navigator is launched within the nailboard / cable drawing environment.

This section allows for selecting a variant of 2D objects (since it is possible to create several 2D windows for one library object in EPLAN Harness proD Library).

Query

This section allows for defining and launching simple queries to filter the library content. Each row of the table stands for one condition, and each condition consists of the name of a property, the logical operator, and a value. Names and logical operators can be selected from drop-down lists. The list of available operators depends on the selected property. The resulting query is a conjunction (AND operation) of all the conditions.
