Dialog box options

Output Format
Defines the output format of the data compiled in a parts list. Select from the selection list Parts List, Stock List, Parts List on Form, for example. If the drawing form has output definitions, the parts list can be output to the drawing. Usually, the parts list are generated as separate documents.
We recommend performing the editing of output formats as a customer fitting.
Roll-Out
Defines the amount of data collected in a parts list. Select one of the following:
  • No roll-out - Data is collected on the parts list without substructures.
  • Roll-out to end - In a drawing, substructures of a component, which are defined in the component database, are also collected on the parts list.
Collect from all forms
If you want to collect materials from all forms, select Collect from all forms. Otherwise materials are collected from the active forms.
Collect from connection lines (connected)
If you want to collect materials also from the connection lines, select Collect from connection lines.
When collecting from connection lines, the Cable label and Wire label (ED) / Fitting lable (HD) of internal wiring is collected in to the Device label field (LBL_PART3). The Unity and Position fields (LBL_PART1 ja LBL_PART2) are filled in according to the start of the connection line.
Data of connection lines, to which part data is specified, is collected to a bill of materials.
Architectural drawings
These functions belong to architectural electrical engineering.
You can also collect the connection materials to the parts list by selecting Collect connection materials. When this option is selected, you can also select Combine cable lengths of same cable types.
If the drawing contains same cable types, you can select if the cable lengths are calculated together or separately. If you want to calculate the cable lengths together, select Combine cable lengths of same cable types.
