Multilingual Spare Parts Book Texts

Spare Parts Book

When printing a spare parts book, you need to select a pair of languages in which the spare part data is printed on the book pages.

You can make the language selection when printing the spare parts book.

  • 1: The selected language is displayed first.
  • 2: The selected language is displayed second.

The spare parts book can also be in a single language.

Table of Contents and the Spare Parts List

The application uses the Vertex Word Book in the generation of the spare parts list and table of contents.

Translations are retrieved from the Word Book according to the selected language pair. If no translation is found in the Word Book, an empty row is added instead.

Cover Sheet and Notes

The language selections affect the printing of the Cover Sheet and the Notes page.

In order to print out the desired languages on the pages of the spare parts book, you must add the texts to certain layers of the drawing.

  Language Selection Layer (drawing)
1: First language selections FI - Finnish (default language) 30
  EN - English (first foreign language) 31
  SV - Swedish (second foreign language) 32
     
2: Second language selections FI - Finnish 40
  EN - English 41
  SV - Swedish 42

For example, if you wish to print out a spare parts book using the Finnish-Swedish language pair:

  • Select 1: Finnish
  • Select 2: Swedish

Vertex will print out the spare parts book in two languages using texts added to drawing layers 30 (Finnish) and 42 (Swedish).

For example, if you wish to print out a spare parts book using the English-Finnish language pair:

  • Select 1: English
  • Select 2: Finnish

Vertex will print out the spare parts book in two languages using texts added to drawing layers 31 (English) and 40 (Finnish).

Spare Parts Book in a Single Language

If you wish to print out only a single language in the spare parts book, you must edit the sheet template and remove the second language selection. You still need to select the language pair, as before, when printing out the spare parts book, but the second language selection will not be used during printing.

The sheet templates created by the sofware supplier are located in the System/SparePartsBook folder of the symbol library.

  • Heading text - SP-HEADING_IND
  • Column headings for the parts list - SP_HEADING.

The sheets can be modified as a customer fitting.
