For each of the 3 possible part label types a model can be defined for each of the item types which will be placed when the corresponding part label type is selected when using the "Part Labeling" function.
The model file names for a dimension part label type should always start with the ps_l_ prefix, those for a text type with ps_t_ and those for a number type with ps_s_. All these model files should be stored in the %ncgnorms%\logistics folder.
The following models will be used by default for the 3 label types:
Item type |

Text |

With the "Presentation" -> "Part Labels" -> "Item type - Model Table" function other models for an item type can be selected after they have been created first. Please be aware that for each new model there has to be a ps_l_<name>.mod, ps_t_<name>.mod and ps_s_<name>.mod instance present in the %ncgnorms%\logistics folder.
*) When in label 8 of the bracket macro the DimensionText variable has been set then the ps_f_<name>.mod instance will be used instead of the ps_t_<name>.mod and the positioning of the part label will be as if the part label is placed as a dimension type (horizontally or vertically) instead of a text type (parallel to the selected vector of the bracket).
