When viewing an assembly drawing, an operator can select a lower level component, such as an individual part, and have LDX automatically find and activate the drawing of that part. Even these user defined panels support hierarchy. Users have complete freedom to organize libraries to meet their own specifications. The use of component libraries provides storage efficiency, rapid retrieval of existing designs, greater control over the design process, and avoids the expense of redesigning already existing parts. User Formattable Reports LDX allows a user to generate reports according to a previously specified format.
Reports can be output as text files or as a detail page.
Multiline, lines, and textlines are used to represent connections. An optional rubberband feature maintains connections to components as the components are dynamically moved around. Special wiring components, such as twists, shields, coaxes, cables, and sheet extensions are also supported, as well as user defined attributes on connecting lines. From-To Lists and Netlist Reports can be generated interactively from components, node points on components, and connecting lines stored on a collection of drawings. These diagrams can be automatically generated from parameters such as width, number of rungs, spacing, and labeling scheme.
