Example

The Cable category has defined the following Sub-Categories:

•Hybrid cable

•Copper cable

•High-Voltage Line

This allows you to assign the Sub-Category "copper cable" from the above list to the component type "cable Co" and thus also to its components.

Autonaming

This means that components without a name are automatically assigned consecutive names when a component type with this sub-category is assigned.

The consecutive names are formed from:

"Naming"+##(Start value increased by the number specified in Increment). Digits indicate how many digits the sequential number should have. If the number has too few digits, it is filled with further zeros.

Autonaming/ Example

The Sub-Category "Hybrid cable" has defined the following characteristics for autonaming:

•Name default: Hybrid

•Start value: 2

•Increment: 2

•Digits: 3

The component type "QRF" is assigned the Sub-Category "Hybrid cable".

If components without names of type "QRF" are now created, the following names are automatically assigned to them:

"Hybrid002", "Hybrid004", "Hybrid006", "Hybrid008", ...

Autonaming extended

Instead of the fixed name prefix, information from the component type can also be inserted. In addition, [N] refers to the number index (number of digits, increment and start value) which can be placed anywhere in the definition.

Example 1:

Cable name definition:

C-<# Fibers>-[N]        (N are 5 digits)

"Name Default" for cables of this Sub-Category is:

"C-<type.ldim>-[N]"

Result: name for a 4-fiber cable would be "C-4-00001"

Example 2:

Duct name definition:

<component type name>-[N] (N is 3 digits)

"Name default" for ducts of this Sub-Category:

"<type.name>-[N]"

Results: Name for a duct would be "DBMu7x10-001"
