The options on this tab allow you to select the display of various graphical elements in Enhanced Report Utility drawings or reports that are associated with the layout.
Split strip display between pages
Select to display a certain strip which would otherwise be on the margin of one of the pages, in a split manner.
Enlarge terminals with multiple connections
Select to enlarge terminals with multiple connections so that you can view all the multiple connections separately. When a terminal has several connections, the software duplicates this terminal as many times as there are connections, and displays this terminal as one item that contains several terminals attached underneath each other.
All jumpers
Select to display all the jumpers between the entry and exit points of a signal on a cabinet. Clear to display one line for all the midway jumpers.
When generating a loop in Custom Mode, with the terminal strip associated to a custom symbol, all jumpers are displayed
on the loop drawing irrespective of the All Jumpers preference or layout properties settings.
Show one instance of each cable in drawing
If a cable appears on a drawing more than once, select this option to display only one instance of the cable (all connections are still displayed). Generating a report when this option is selected, can result in the report being displayed differently each time it is generated.
Display loop and fieldbus layouts vertically (custom mode only)
Select to display loop and fieldbus drawings, generated using the Custom by Loop generation method, in a vertical orientation. (Only available for Enhanced Smartloop and Fieldbus Loop reports.)
Show all macros for assembled symbols (Custom mode only)
Select this check box to display all macros associated with assembled symbols displayed on a report. Leave blank to display only those macros associated to sub-symbols, of assembled symbols, that are connected to a signal. Those sub-symbols that are not connected to a signal will display Null.
Wire representation
Select the required option to determine how the wires between terminals are represented in enhanced reports. You define wire representation per layout. When editing the default layout or creating a new layout, you can set the wire representation to be diagonal or orthogonal. This affects the wire paths when the terminals are not located on the same horizontal row. For a visual comparison of these options, see Connector Representation Examples.
Main wiring
Select the required option to determine how main wiring between terminals is represented in enhanced reports. You can set the wire representation to be diagonal or orthogonal.
Cross-wiring
Select the required option to determine how cross-wiring between terminals is represented in enhanced reports. You can set the wire representation to be diagonal or orthogonal.
When generating an enhanced report with many connectors, where the layout settings
for the connectors are set to diagonal, the connector names do not appear directly
over their respective connectors.
