Source object

Available properties

Function

Properties of the selected function. Available if an auxiliary function or a function template have been selected.

Main function

Properties of the associated main function. Available if an auxiliary function has been selected or a connection definition point whose connections belong to a cable / conduit.

Available if a graphically placed segment or a function or function template linked to a planning object has been selected. The index passes through the hierarchy levels in accordance with the tree structure in the pre-planning navigator. This is done starting from the current segment of the tree from the bottom upward.

Structure segment hierarchical

Properties of the superior structure segment. Available if a graphically placed segment or a function or function template linked to a planning object has been selected.

This is done starting from the highest node in the tree to the last structure segment above the current segment.

PCT loop

Properties of the superior PCT loop. Available if a graphically placed segment or a function or function template linked to a planning object has been selected.

PCT loop function

Properties of the superior PCT loop function. Available if a graphically placed segment or a function or function template linked to a planning object has been selected.

Part reference

Properties of the part that can be changed at the device, and calculated properties. Available when a main function is marked and parts are assigned to it. The index passes through the parts in accordance with their sequence in the Parts tab of the property dialog.

Parts

The index passes through the parts in accordance with their sequence in the Parts tab of the property dialog.

Segment: Part

Properties of the part that is assigned to the planning object. Available when a function of a pre-planning placement is marked to which a planning object is assigned and parts are entered at the planning object. The index passes through the parts in accordance with their sequence in the Parts tab of the property dialog.

Placement

Properties of the graphical placement of the segment. Available if a graphically placed segment has been selected.

Connection definition point

Properties of the connection definition point. Available if a connection definition point has been selected.

Connection

Piping definition

Properties of the piping definition point. Available if a piping definition point has been selected.

Pipe class

Properties of the pipe class. Available if a segment, function, piping or connection definition point for which a pipe class is selected has been marked.

Piping planning object

Properties of the piping planning object. Available if a connection definition point or a function is selected on a defined piping and the associated piping definition point is linked to a piping planning object. At functions that are the source / target of several defined pipings, the index passes through the linked piping planning objects in accordance with the graphical order of the defined pipings.

Page

Page properties. Available if page properties are inserted as special texts.

<Identifier block>

Properties of the identifier block. Available if page properties are inserted as special texts and the project is structured by identifier blocks.

Category:

The category allows you to limit the display of the properties possible for the marked source object to a subset.

Filter:

Into this field enter the text for which the properties are to be filtered.

If you want to return to the original view of the properties, remove the search term from the entry field. Click (Delete) to do so.

Notes:

All properties available for the relevant object are displayed sorted by name in the Property name column of the table. The associated property values (where available) are displayed in the Value column. Click on a column header to sort the properties by the respective column.

Tip:

Enter multiple letters one immediately after the other to search for a string and jump directly to the first entry that starts with the letters you entered. If you enter "sup", for example, the cursor will jump in the list of properties directly to the first entry that starts with "sup", for example "supplementary field".
If you pause too long between entering "s" and "u", the cursor will jump to the first entry that starts with "s", and then to the first entry that starts with "u".
