You can also start editing a group by double-clicking it in the drawing, or from the project tree by right-clicking the group and selecting Edit group.
In the New group or Group / feeder properties dialog, define the properties as follows:
-
If necessary, enter the group number. You can add a new group between existing groups so that the following group numbers will be adjusted accordingly. For example, if there already are groups 6, 7 and 8 and you add a new group 7, the old group 7 will become 8 and the old group 8 will become 9 after your confirmation.
Note: Group numbering will not be adjusted when you remove groups.
By default, the next available number is used.
Show/hide details
When decimals (comma or point as the separator) are used in group numbering, the application suggests the next group number as follows:
-
If the previous group number was 1.1, the application suggests group number 1.2.
-
If the previous group number was 1.3, the application suggests group number 2.1.
-
When the user enters an integer (such as 2), the application suggests the next consecutive integer (such as 3).
-
If other characters (such as underscore) are used in group numbering, the number after that character is increased: after 1_1, the application suggests group number 1_2.
