Additionally you need to choose wether the fill will be applied to all primarily selected objects or to the new selection.

Optionally you can attach the cell name, the cell number and a reference object’s primary key to your cell object in the "Database-Options" area, as long as a fix target layer has been assigned to the cell in the cell library manager. Thereto enter the layer and column names to the corresponding fields.

The attributes "Reference layer" and "Reference column" can be assigned to a cell via the cell library manger. This information is optional. The primary key will be taken from the reference column and written in the homonymous column of the target layer.

Once this way set cells can always be linked to a reference object via key.

 

Hinweis_klein Notes:

•To avoid unwanted results, go to the layer control and set the reference layer alone selectable
•If data types of the cell library columns (i.e. cell number or name) do not correspond to those of the targe layer, the a corresponding hint appears when digitizing a single cell.

 

You can display these settings by clicking the "Cell Info" button.
