DB Fields

Meaning

Component Name

Name of component.

Part Number

The part number is copied to the symbol parameters when a symbol is loaded. This is the most important database field! There must not be identical part numbers in the entire database; this is checked when new data is entered. The number can be different to the part designation of the manufacturer.

Manufacturer

Name of the manufacturer.

Supplier

Supplier.

Type

Any type indication, e.g. part numbers of the manufacturer, as long as they are not yet used in the parts field.

Item number

Additional piece number, e.g. manufacturer specific designation.

Text1

General text.

Text2

General text is copied to the symbol parameters when a symbol is loaded. This text should be used for indication of technical data such as electric power or current.

Quantity

Number of elements per symbol (for main part, always set 1). The value indicated here, multiplied with the number of symbols per set of drawings, gives the total number.

Price

Price of the component, two digits behind the decimal point. Attention: this is a currency field.

Time

Time needed (whole number, unit interpreted by the user)

Labour
