Protected Segments

Similarly to functions, segments can be protected against changes and deleting. This is possible using the device protection and / or the change protection.

Device protection for segments

In order to protect device data predefined at a segment, you can assign the Device protection property to the segment via the Configure protection dialog. All the properties that are assigned through the part (and the function templates stored at the function) are thus protected. However, it remains possible to change the remaining segment properties.

The project setting Device protection when creating functions is used to automatically assign device protection to functions with a planning object.

The device protection has the following effects on segments:

Change Protection for Segments

Segments can be protected against changes through the change protection. The change protection is carried out automatically by the program at some functionalities in the EPLAN Platform (for example when a subproject is filed off). However, you can use the Configure protection dialog to assign a manual change protection specifically to one or more pages, functions or segments.

The project setting Change protection when creating pages can be used to automatically assign change protection to schematic pages that were generated on the basis of the macros stored at the planning objects.

The change protection has the following effects on segments:
