The General section of the Settings dialog contains settings common to all environments.
The following dialog elements are available in the main node:
Language
Selects a language EPLAN Harness proD should use the next time the program is launched. If a particular EPLAN Harness proD license does not support the selected language, the default language selected during the EPLAN Harness proD installation will be used instead.
Override identity
When this field is activated, an identity can be entered into the text field. This is then used in the fields Creator and Last changed by. This checkbox is deactivated by default, in which case the Windows login account name is used.
Handler size
Size of handlers for the Move, Rotate and Scale command.
UI color scheme
Determines the color to be used for the display of the application windows (window title, menu color, inactive text, etc.).
No. of Undo steps
Number of steps available for the Undo command.
Key point radius
Size of the representation of key points (red bullet).
Key point display time
Key point visibility duration (after highlighting with mouse-over).
3D width handle name
Name to be assigned to the width handle when a part is imported or re-imported from the EPLAN Platform.
Width handles are created during import if a part's width has been set to be smaller than the physical width of the part's 3D model. This property can be found in the part's Mounting data tab in the EPLAN Platform.
Note:
Changing this property may require existing parts with a width handle to be re-imported or have their width handle names updated to work properly.
Warning:
Deviating from this handle naming convention is not recommended; especially for the main handle, the width handle, and mounting point.
Do not expand tree view (selection change)
When check-marked, nodes in the navigation panel tree view do not expand after selecting a corresponding object in the working window.
Suppress tree view highlighting
Activating this check box turns off the highlighting of objects in the working window when the mouse is hovered over the corresponding object in the navigation panel tree view.
Invert mouse zoom
Toggles the direction of the mouse zoom.
Enable PDM integration
If check-marked, the integration of an external PDM system is supported.
Length rounding to next
This setting allows to round up the displayed lengths of wires, cables, bundles, etc. throughout the project.
Separators
In this subnode, you find the following dialog elements:
- Name / index separator: Determines the separator character which separates names and occurrence numbers (indexes) in the navigation panel tree view.
- Separator between device and pin: Determines the separator between the device (connectable object, terminal, etc.) and the pin name, for instance in tables and reports.
- Full pin name separator: Determines the separator in the full pin name. The separator is used for the Plug designation, Pin designation and Terminal designation entries.
- Connection point designation separator: Determines the separator between connection point designations.
Paths
In this subnode, you find the following dialog elements:
- Path to EPLAN Platform Data $(EPLAN_DATA): This field should be used to fill in the path to the EPLAN Platform Data directory. Typical example:
C:\Users\Public\EPLAN\Data . - Path to EPLAN Platform Documents $(MD_DOCUMENTS): This field should be used to fill in the Documents default directories variable from EPLAN Platform. This allows parts imported from EPLAN Platform to EPLAN Harness proD to retain links to their attached documents. This path can be found in EPLAN Electric P8: Settings > User > Management > Directories > Documents. Typical example:
$(EPLAN_DATA)\Documents\Company name . - Load paths from Platform: This button will automatically fill in the aforementioned directory paths if EPLAN Platform is installed on the same computer.
