Pages
The Pages panel lets you create and manage multipage documents.
Panel Buttons
Each button does the following:
- Add a page
- Delete a page
- Show the table of contents
- Copy a page to the clipboard
- Paste a page from the clipboard
- Insert a print report
- Move a page up
- Move a page down
- Open the Pages panel settings
Creating a Page Copy
Press buttons 4 and 5 in succession to duplicate a page. You can also copy a page to a different document this way.
Page Display Mode
In the Pages panel, use button 9 to choose one of four display modes for page tabs:
- Page sequence number
- Short page name (the default in previous versions)
- Sequence number, period, and page name
- Custom text using variables
Write variable names between curly braces { and }.
This setting is saved separately for each document. If the current mode works for you, there's no need to change anything in existing documents. You can apply the new, more descriptive display mode to existing documents too — just set it manually.
Where to Enter Page Variable Values
Double-click the page name to open a dialog. On the "Variables" tab, you can set the "short page name", "page name", and any page variables.
Page Variables for Print Reports
When you insert a print report into the project using button 6, the program automatically sets these two variables:
- name – the name of the print report, e.g. "Bill of Materials" or "List of Wires"
- short name – a three-letter code as shown in the table below:
| Code | Report Name |
|---|---|
| BOM | Bill of Materials |
| LOC | List of Cables |
| LOT | List of Terminals |
| LOP | List of Pages |
| LOW | List of Wires |
Where to Enter Title Block Data
| Data common to all pages (e.g. author, company) | Data for a specific page (e.g. title, supplementary title) |
|---|---|
| F12 – Document – Variables | In the Pages panel, double-click the page name |
