Note:

Usually, the numbering is carried out in relation to the page sorting. 3D part placements that are placed exclusively in the layout space and do not have a counterpiece on a 2D page (e.g., wire duct, mounting panel) can be numbered correctly only with a numbering format that does not take the page sorting into account (e.g., "Default"). In the Selected format elements field of the numbering format that is used for the numbering of such devices, the "Page" format element must not be included.

Selected format elements:

This field displays all the format elements comprising the current format. The current format is shown in the Scheme field.

Keep prefix:

The functionality applies to DTs containing a prefix. If the check box is selected, the prefix is retained in the DT. If the check box is deselected, the prefix is removed from the DT. This functionality allows you to (e.g.) decide whether the circuit number is to be retained in the DT for fluid devices.

Keep counter:

If this check box is selected, the entire counter is kept with letters and digits, but without subcounters.

Keep letter elements of counter:

If this check box is selected, the letter part of the counter is retained.
