Page Filter

In the page navigator, you can define a filter for displaying the pages. This is especially useful in larger projects for limiting the number of displayed pages to those being currently edited. A filter can be useful in the following situations, among others:

Tip:

When you print / export pages, if you only want to output the current pages of an active page filter, select the Selection option from the Print dialog, and do not select the Apply to entire project check box in the export dialogs.

A page filter is a field-based filter that you, as is usual in EPLAN, specify in the Filter dialog and save in a scheme. As filter criteria you can use different page properties and / or properties and function definitions of functions that are placed on pages. This means that you have the following options:

Note:

The page property Contains results in the search results list as well as the criteria for the functions on pages are available to you only for the criteria selection of the page filter.

The filter is simultaneously activated for all open projects via the selection of the filter scheme in the page navigator. It is therefore possible that when the filter is changed all the pages of a project are hidden completely from the page navigator because no page matches the filter criteria. If pages are generated for the selected filter, these will be displayed if they match the filter criteria. It makes no difference whether the pages are created using the New, Copy, DXF / DWG import commands, or via the API. If there is no filter in the project, all the pages will be displayed.
