Elements tab page -> General section

[Note]Note

The following setting options are found at each element.

  • Name: Displays the element name. The name cannot be changed here and appears grayed out. To change element names, switch to the Layer tab page, select the desired element and then click on the Edit icon.

  • Page: Display of the template page. The value cannot be changed here. To edit another page, simply switch to it in the template.

  • X / Y: Position of the element on the template page

  • Width / height [Height]: Dimensions of the element

  • Repeat in case of overflow [Repeat on overflow]:

    During generation, the template is filled with the respective data of the current part. Especially at tables with many lines several pages are possibly generated. With this option you can determine, whether this element shall be repeated on the next page in such a case.

  • Frame thickness [Border size] / frame color [Border color]:

    These options are available for all elements except geometry and table. The setting is only visible in the PDF preview.

  • Hyperlink:

    When clicking on the respective element in the PDF datasheet later, the URL or the e-mail program with specified e-mail address (prefix "mailto:"), inserted here, is called up.

    In order for hyperlinks to be recognized as such, the www-address must be prefixed with "http://".

    It is not possible to use different formatting inside a link.

    [Note]Note

    You can not only use fixed links, but also variables within the link.

    For example, with a common "Click here" you can open the exact part with the specific variant on a PARTcommunity portal.

    Example with a number of variables:

    https://company.partcommunity.com?info=company/gurtforderband/gerades_forderband/multi_
     tech/typ_gl_asmtab.prj&varset={PROJBEZ=$PROJBEZ.},{FOEBES=$FOEBES.},{QUERKR=$QUERKR.},
     {BNEL=$BNEL.},{BNEB=$BNEB.},{ULE=$ULE.},{ULA=$ULA.},{SFH=$SFH.},{TYP=$TYP.},{AUH=$AUH.},
     {ABH=$ABH.},{BANDBE=$BANDBE.},{GURTAUS=$GURTAUS.},{TEMPMAX=$TEMPMAX.},{FDA=$FDA.},
     {OI=$OI.},{GURTMAT=$GURTMAT.},{GURTOBER=$GURTOBER.},{AD=$AD.},{AN=$AN.},{GURTFARB=
     $GURTFARB.},{GURTNR=$GURTNR.},{STAUS=$STAUS.},{STF=$STF.},{STH=$STH.},{STANZ=$STANZ.},
     {STFARBE=$STFARBE.},{ANTRIEB=$ANTRIEB.},{FRICHT=$FRICHT.},{ANTRIEBPOS=$ANTRIEBPOS.},
     {ANTRIEBST=$ANTRIEBST.},{MFABSTAND=$MFABSTAND.},{BETRIEB=$BETRIEB.},{BG=$BG.},
     {UAUS=$UAUS.},{UTYP=$UTYP.},{UANZ=$UANZ.},{UBV=$UBV.},{AUFB=$AUFB.}

  • Condition: The relevant element is only displayed if the entered condition is "true".

    • Example 1:

      $IDNR. = 1013

      The respective element is only displayed, if the number is 1013.

    • Example 2:

      1 = 1

      The expression 1=1 is always true. In this case the element would be always displayed.
