Segment |
Properties of the segment (structure segment, planning object, or PCT loop in pre-planning). Available if a graphically placed segment or a function or function template linked to a planning object has been selected. The index passes through the hierarchy levels in accordance with the tree structure in the pre-planning navigator. This is done starting from the current segment of the tree from the bottom upward. |
|
Structure segment hierarchical |
Properties of the superior structure segment. Available if a graphically placed segment or a function or function template linked to a planning object has been selected. The index passes through the hierarchy levels in accordance with the tree structure in the pre-planning navigator. This is done starting from the highest node in the tree to the last structure segment above the current segment. |
|
PCT loop |
Properties of the superior PCT loop. Available if a graphically placed segment or a function or function template linked to a planning object has been selected. |

The category allows you to limit the display of the properties possible for the marked source object to a subset.
This field is irrelevant for the property configuration of the property overview and for the property configuration in the parts management at the record types such as accessory list, drilling pattern, etc.
In the "Devices" category device properties are available, for example components of the DT, structure identifiers.
The "Data" category makes properties available for which the entry of data values is possible, e.g., function texts, technical characteristics, user supplementary fields, block properties.
In the "Settings" category properties are available that are set using check boxes or drop-down lists, e.g., "Suppress in device tag list", "Cross-reference display: Display".
Into this field enter the text for which the properties are to be filtered. Both property names and set values are found when the properties are filtered. Logic operators (AND / OR operation) and placeholders (such as * or ?) are not supported for filtering.
If you want to return to the original view of the properties, remove the search term from the entry field. Click 
(Delete) to do so.
Tip:
Enter multiple letters one immediately after the other to search for a string and jump directly to the first entry that starts with the letters you entered. If you enter "sup", for example, the cursor will jump in the list of properties directly to the first entry that starts with "sup", for example "supplementary field".
If you pause too long between entering "s" and "u", the cursor will jump to the first entry that starts with "s", and then to the first entry that starts with "u".
All properties available for the relevant object are displayed sorted by name in the Property name column of the table. The associated property values (where available) are displayed in the Value column. Double-click a column header to sort the properties by the respective column.
