Special Attributes in Lists/Text Objects


Accessory parts

To annotate accessory parts, you can either use the external attributes which are directly saved within the part, or the %DBAT text keys from HELiOS. For example, to display the part designation, you have to use the attribute definition %TA($01), to display the nominal diameter, you have to use %TA(DN1). Also possible would be %DBAT(NENNWEITE) (Nennweite = Nominal diameter).

You use the attribute Pipe Part accessory set within text objects to display the accessory list of a part in the isometry. The item numbers for the accessory parts will be output as a list of items separated by commas (e.g. „14, 15, 16“). If you want the accessory part list to be shown in the isometry list, use (i.e. select or enter) the attribute %PIPE_ACCESSORIES there.


Connected pipelines/vessels

You can also display attributes of connected pipelines and vessels in text objects by adding the prefix %CONNCOMP to the normal attribute definitions for external attributes %TA( ) and database attributes %DBAT( ). For example,if you use the attribute entry %CONNCOMP%TA($01), the designation of the connected pipeline will be shown.

In the Text Object Editor, database attributes can be selected via a selection list. The attributes appear in curly brackets,e.g. {%DBAT(BENENNUNG)} (Benennung = Designation). If required, these attributes can be prefixed in the same way: %CONNCOMP{%DBAT(BENENNUNG)}.


Connecting body

Connecting body data can also be used in weld seam lists or connection text objects. You can display arbitrary external attributes as well as HELiOS catalogue data, by adding one of the following prefixes to the required attribute:

Please note that normally only limited information is available for connecting bodies, such as Material or Nominal diameter.
