Instantiating text and table templates means replicating the texts or the tables to predefine the title
blocks (containing the link templates) or revision blocks (containing the link
templates) of a drawing for example.
Routing Text Templates
When you instantiate a text template containing link templates, the
Instantiate Text command prompts you to select the object to which the link templates must be routed. However, if any of the link
templates inside the text template is not routed, you need to resolve it using the
contextual command Route Link Template.
Route Link Template is available in the context menu of tables and texts containing at least a link template,
routed or not. Also, it is available in design sheet, detail sheet and background of drawings, as well as in diagrams and in the Symbol
Editor app of Schematic apps.
Routing Table Templates
- When you use Route Link Template on a table template, all its cells containing some link templates are highlighted:
- In green, for cells whose link templates are routed and are associative.
- In red, for cells whose link templates are not yet routed.
- In orange, if any of the link templates contained in a table cell is resolved
nonassociatively.
-
When resolving the table template, you can select an object compatible with the link
templates of selected cells, that is, their types and attribute(s).
- The compatible link templates are immediately routed to the selected object, and
corresponding cells are unselected and highlighted in green.
- The cells corresponding to some link templates that are not routed are kept
selected, to allow further reroute.
Note:
If no cell is selected and a routing is performed by selecting an element or clicking in the
dialog box, all the cells that are not yet routed are taken into account.
In addition, the Route Link Template dialog box appears to provide the
routing options:
- Route to containing representation: To route or reroute link
templates of selected cells to the attributes of the representation containing the current drawing.
- Route to presented product: To route or reroute link templates
of selected cells to the product presented, which is defined as follows:
In the case of a drawing, it can be any one of the following
options:
- The product presented in the current view of the current sheet, if any.
- The product presented by the first view of the current sheet that is presenting
a product, if any.
- The product presented by the first bill of material of the drawing.
Else this option is unavailable.
In the case of a diagram, it is the system under which the current layout is located.
