Customization of Labels for Calculation Data

Shows step-by-step how to customize labeling files for customized labeling with LINEAR Pipe and Duct Network Calculation.

Before you begin

You want to customize the contents of a labeling file because you cannot make the desired customization via the Configure labeling parameters dialog.

Requirements:

You know the file name and the file path of the label file that you want to customize.

Note:

Please note that the labeling files installed with the program are write-protected. You can create a copy and then edit it. You can view and copy the file path under Discipline ➤ Analyse tab ➤ Labeling ... ➤ Configure labeling” ➤ button ➤ <Select file...>. Then open the directory via the file explorer and make a copy of the file in question.

Navigate to:

Discipline ➤ Analyse tab ➤ Labeling ...

Procedure

  1. Now open the newly created labeling file.
  2. Double-click on the attribute that you want to adjust, e.g. LIN_VE_ZETA_VALUE.

    The Edit attribute definition dialog opens.

  3. In the Default field, enter the variables (parameter IDs) and/or the static text that should appear in the label. The variables/parameter IDs must always be enclosed in two angle brackets.
    Tip: You can also output the unit of the value of a variable by adding a + sign after the variable name (parameter ID).

  5. Save the label.

Results

You have now customized the content of the label you created yourself.

Example

The following table shows possible definitions of attributes with the resulting label texts on a component with an air flow rate of 1900 m³/h.

Name: LUFTSTR

Default: <<Air flow rate: |LIN_VE_AIRFLOWRATE>> << LIN_VE_AIRFLOWRATE _UNIT>>

Output in label: Air flow rate: 1900 m³/h

Name: RANDOM_NAME

Default: <<Air flow rate: |LIN_VE_AIRFLOWRATE>> << LIN_VE_AIRFLOWRATE _UNIT>>

Output in label: Air flow rate: 1900 m³/h

Name: RANDOM_NAME

Default: Air flow rate: << LIN_VE_AIRFLOWRATE >> [<<LIN_VE_AIRFLOWRATE_UNIT>>]

Output in label: Air flow rate: 1900 [m³/h]

Name: LIN_VE_AIRFLOWRATE

Default: -

Output in label: 1900
