Page Types

Every page is allocated to a particular page type. The page types help to structure a project and accelerate the reporting processes, since non-relevant pages can be skipped. All page types behave the same way in the page navigator.

The page type is assigned when a page is created, but can be subsequently changed. When a page type is changed, all other page properties remain unchanged, the page is just analyzed and reported differently.

Note:

The External document page type is an exception to this rule and once created can't be changed later on.

Logic and graphical pages

Pages are basically either logic pages or graphical pages:

The page types are displayed alphabetically sorted in the dialogs (e.g. Page properties). Also displayed is whether they are "Interactive" or "Automatic" (e.g. "Schematic multi-line (I)", "Parts list (A)"). You can generate and edit interactive pages yourself (e.g. schematic or graphical pages), automatic pages are generated automatically as reports and filled with data by EPLAN (e.g. terminal or cable diagrams).

Page navigator icons

An icon is used in the page navigator tree view to help clarify what the page type is:
