Levels of cross references

There are several levels of cross references, according to the standard used and the type of symbol.

- Parent in line-type symbols (for example a circuit breaker)

- Parent in table-type symbols (for example a coil)

- Child-type symbols (for example a contact)

- Same level-type symbols (for example a push button)

- Without cross references (for example a power supply)

- Default representation standard ANSI symbols

 

Each level of cross references gives a different representation of the associated symbols.

 

Parent in table: A block including the graphical representation of the circuits and location information (drawing / column) is automatically generated in the Parent in table type symbol alignment in the lower part of the drawing.

 

 

Parent in line: A block including the graphical representation of the circuits and location information (drawing / column) is automatically generated near the Parent in line type symbol.

 

 

Child or Same level: The cross references information is propagated in the form of text in the #CROSS_REF attribute for the symbol.

 

 

Without: Does not generate cross references.

 

Default representation: A block including the graphical representation of the circuits and location information (drawing / column) is automatically generated in the Parent in table type symbol alignment to the right of the column the symbol was inserted into.

 

 

The level of cross references is defined in the parameters of the symbol (see Symbols library).
