Display graphics in the table (if available) [Show graphics in table (if available)]: A table can also contain columns with graphics. If you want these to be displayed by default, activate the checkbox. This only controls the preselection. You can switch the graphics on and off at any time via the standard toolbar [Default] → Show graphics in table.

"Standard [Default] " toolbar with selection "Show graphics in table [Show graphics in table] "

There are two display options for the graphic size:

Show preferred rows only [Show only preferred rows] :

Show class variables :

If this option is activated, the class variables are also displayed in the respective column headers in accordance with the specified classification (eClass 7.1 in this example). This functionality is also available for your own classifications. You can find detailed information on this under Section 5.12.14, “Create or edit your own class system ”.

Show class variables

Display [Show topological values] topology values:

Choose, which topological values you want to have displayed in the table in addition.

Sort [Sort digits as numbers] digits as numbers:

Above each table column you can find a symbol to change the sort order.

The Sort digits as numbers option only affects columns that contain a mixture of numbers and text and only becomes visible when the sorting is explicitly performed using the relevant column.

Option activated:

When sorting, the value of the entire number is taken into account so that a natural sorting takes place.

Option deactivated:

The entire string is seen as text and thus the leading number is valued higher than the entire numerical value. See the following illustration.

Note Activation can - if desired by the manufacturer - also be explicitly set in the project file only for certain variables and is effective even if the option is deactivated in the PARTdataManager is deactivated.[a]
