You are here:

Project tab ➤ Discipline ➤ Workflow: Scheme ➤ Construction tab ➤ Define Symbol Assignments …

Search and filter

With a Search Term or by selecting a Discipline you can filter the list of displayed components.

Hide assigned - enabled: All already assigned components are hidden.

Hide unused - enabled: Hides all classifications that are not used in the project.

Class/Variant

In the first column of the table you will find a list of all component groups, subgroups and variants from the TEC file of the currently selected discipline. Consequently, the displayed entries correspond to the entries of the Classify dialog on the Analyse tab. Clicking on the arrow below a group opens the list with the available variants of the group. You can either assign the same symbol to all components of a group or assign symbols that differ from the group to individual variants.

Symbol

As soon as a symbol has been assigned, the name of the assigned symbol is displayed in this column. When the list of available variants is expanded, the name of the assigned symbol is also displayed for separately assigned variants. For all other variants <As Class> is displayed. Clicking opens the Select symbol dialog where you can select a symbol for the respective part.

Labels

From the drop-down list in this column, you can assign the desired label to each component group or component variant. If you have enabled the Label elements option for creating a scheme in the Convert Model to Scheme dialog, the labels assigned here will be used.

Parameters

The column shows the number of assigned parameters for the respective symbol. Click on to open the Define Parameters dialog, in which you can assign one or more LINEAR parameters or shared parameters to the corresponding symbol. The values of assigned parameters can be transferred from connected 3D components and used to label the symbol. As soon as parameters are selected, the number of assigned parameters is displayed. If you stop with the cursor over the field, the plain names of the selected parameters are displayed in a tooltip.

Buttons

Save as …: Opens the file explorer where you can save the current configuration in the desired directory. Symbol and label assignments are stored in a JSON file.
