About Symbol Assignment in the Scheme Workflow

Explains the concept of symbol assignments in the Scheme workflow.

All component groups including their variants are stored with all relevant calculation-related data in a discipline-specific TEC file. To each of these components, the correct calculation type is assigned in the classification dialog by default. A symbol is assigned to each entry in a TEC file. This default symbol assignment is stored in a JSON file. If required, the default assignment can be changed and exported or imported as a JSON file, for example to define company wide standards.

A standard label can be assigned to each component or component group for labeling in the scheme. The labels contain a minimum of relevant data for the respective component. To label symbols in the scheme with additional data from the linked 3D components, you can assign parameters to the symbols used in the scheme and transfer the parameter values to the individual symbols. You can then label the symbols with a custom label that contains the assigned parameters.
