Grouping

The field can be used for several applications.

In case you want to export the parts list according to Swiss standard product catalog you define in this field the product cost breakdown (EKG). The entry consists of three elements:

<B03-Record>#<Description>

Example: G#Reserve

If more characters are inserted than allowed, they will be removed from the program. This can lead to incorrect results when exporting the parts list. Observe the following rules:

Element Rule
B03-Record max. 6 characters
Delimiter #
Description max. 30 characters

The rest of the division will be done as follows:

Structure How is it regulated?
KAG Automatic by layer
PSL Automatic by storeys
OGL By area definition in the room database
EKG Manually in the component, see above: number / text

DDScad can evaluate the loads of circuits and cables when the electrical power of the connected object is defined in this field. Enter the value incl. the W indicator for the unit Watt.
