Dialog Format

In this dialog you define the properties that are to be summarized in the block property or to be displayed in the automatic description text of the change tracking or at a segment in the pre-planning navigator or at an object in the tree view of a navigator.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Available format elements:

Available groups of properties are displayed in this field.

If a target is found for a format element, the identifying name of the target is displayed in brackets behind the format element (for example full DT, full page name, etc.). Note that targets can only be found if a block property is defined for a concrete object - meaning, for example, not at the predefinition of block properties at the project or at a symbol.

When selecting a format element with a target that is located on a page, the position of this target on the respective page is displayed in the Graphical preview.


Depending on the object the properties are grouped differently:

The segment data property group (with properties of the segment) is furthermore available for objects such as "Page" and "Function: <...>".

A further property group is also available for the objects of the macro navigator such as "3D macro", "window macro" and "page macro". For the "Window macro" object this is, for example, the macro box property group (with properties of the associated macro box).



Click the plus sign to open the subordinate property groups. If you can access indirect properties of other objects from this object, the (Next level) button will be active. If you click this, the original property grouping is displayed once more – but these are now the (indirect) properties of the subsequent object! If a format group can be selected, then the (Move to the right) button is active. In the subsequent dialog, you then select a particular property and define the formatting for this.

Selected format elements:

If you have selected and formatted properties in the Available format elements field, they are displayed here. The selected format elements are shown in tabular form with their designation, symbolic representation (for the preview) and specified value. The order in which the properties are listed determines the order in which the individual properties are displayed in the output of the block property. You can change the sequence using the arrow buttons on the toolbar.

Navigation:

(Only for block property formats!)

This field displays the path leading to the selected property. The function definition of the starting function is displayed in the first row. In the case of a formatted project, the corresponding name of the format group is displayed. The steps through the available format elements that led to selection of the current property are displayed in the subsequent lines, for the format elements highlighted in the Selected format elements field.

Toolbar:

Using the button above the Navigation field, you can follow the path to indirectly referenced objects and back again.
