    How to use Different Symbol Text Types in Symbol Creation - Promis.e CONNECT

      Product(s): Promis.e CONNECT Edition
      Version(s):  10.00.XX.XX to 10.11.XX.XX
      Environment:  NA
      Area:  Component Management 
      Subarea:  Create Symbol

    Background:

    There are various types of symbol text available for use in the software. This article describes the features of each to help decide which is appropriate to use.

    Types of Symbol Text


    1. Attributes: 

    These Attribute Texts are intelligent Promis.e Texts.  These attributes can be made Visible or Hidden depending on user requirements.  

    Standard Attributes: 

    This Text Attribute is used for representing Text for a Parameter associated with the Symbol like for example Voltage, Power, Function Text. The user has Ability to assign a Default Value to the Attribute which will be populated automatically, but it can be modified from Symbol text as per requirement after the symbol has been placed the value can also be Populated from the Attribute _Text field in Part Number which can be managed via Parts Database Manager.. These attributes can also be used in Custom Reports and user can create Custom Attributes as per their requirement.     



    Cross Reference Attributes: 

    This Text Attribute is used for providing details about the location of Parent or Child symbol associated with the symbol in the Project. The Attributes controls where the Cross Reference text for other symbol will appear. The Cross Reference Text cannot be modified as its automatically populated by the Software. Multiple Attributes needs to be placed if there are multiple symbol details need to be displayed. 



    Parts Database Attributes

    This Text Attribute is used to display values of various fields in the Parts Database for the Part Number that will be associated to the Symbol when being inserted. The value for the Text Attribute can only be modified from the Parts Database Manager. This value can also be populated in Reports. 



    Balloon Number Attributes

    This Text Attributes helps you control where the Balloon Number should be displayed in the Symbol. The Balloon Number can be assigned to a symbol after assigning the Part Number to the symbol. The Value of the Balloon Number can be modified from the Device Properties dialog or the BOM Manager dialog. Multiple Balloon Number Attributes can be added to symbol if Additional Part Numbers are assigned to the Main Part Number. This value can also be populated in Reports. 




    2. Plain Text: 

    This is a Power Platform tool that can be used to Place Plain non intelligent text in the symbol. Also the Text can be placed in multiple Lines. The text will always be visible in the symbol and cannot be made hidden like the Attribute Text. The users can easily modify the text by double clicking on text or by using Edit Text command on the Text. It can be used for thing like for example describing the the symbol or as a text which is part of Symbol Graphics. Since this is a non intelligent text it cannot be populated in the Reports.
