Expression Builder Dialog
This dialog is launched from the Wire Diagram Settings page of the Options dialog. It enables the user to build expressions to define the connection information symbols.
Note: The user can specify
the column width for each variable that is included in the expression. This
will allow the text to be output in what appears to be columns, so that the
variable values in the wiring diagram output lines up better. To continue to
output a single text string expression as in previous versions, make sure the
width value for each variable is 0.
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Available variables | List of variables that can be used to create an expression. |
Add to Expression | Click to add the selected variable to the expression. It will then appear on the right side of the dialog. |
Use single column expression | Enable this check box to automatically set the column widths to 0 and output the text as a single string expression. Disable this check box to specify the column widths in order to output the text in multiple columns. |
Reset | Click to reload the format that you had when you first entered the dialog. |
Remove variable | To remove an element from the format, select it, then either press the <Delete> key or right click on the element and select Delete from the menu. |
Example | Shows how the selected variables will appear in the drawing. |
Properties | If you select one of the selected variables in the expression, the Properties fields become active, allowing you to enter a Prefix or Suffix that will be added to the variable value. |
