Levels of Cross References

There are several levels of cross references, according to the standard used and the type of symbol. The parameters of the symbol define the level of cross references.

  • Parent in Line Automatically generates a block including the graphical representation of the circuits and location information (drawing / column).
  • Parent in Table Automatically generates a block including the graphical representation of the circuits and location information (drawing / column) in the Parent.
  • Child symbols Propagates the cross references information in the form of text in the #CROSS_REF attribute for the symbol.
  • Same Level Propagates the cross references information in the form of text in the #CROSS_REF attribute for the symbol.
  • Without Does not generate cross references.
  • Default Representation Automatically generates a block including the graphical representation of the circuits and location information (drawing / column) in the Parent in Table.
The following table illustrates examples of the types of cross references:
Name Example
