Written by Arthur Hoerlle | Feb 03, 2022

In this article, you can check how to optimize the search for symbols in the E3.series database. The new option presented allows the search by the attribute of characteristics of the symbols, making the search and search more practical.

Searching for components, symbols and miscellaneous items in the E3.series database can be performed in several ways. Whether by name, code, weight or even price, attributes can be used to optimize the search for desired items.

To search for symbols and symbols with defined characteristics, the new search criteria "<Characteristic>" can be used. This search criteria is available in both "Symbol" and "Misc" tree views.

Symbol Properties

The "Up" and "Down" attributes are searched and the "ZUK07-19" symbol is displayed with different graphical orientations.

Symbol "ZUK07-19" for "up" and "down" search

After adding the items to the project sheet, their properties can be accessed by right-clicking on the symbol and clicking on "Symbol Properties...". Thus, it is possible to visualize in the window the characteristic attribute that belongs to that item in "Symbol Characteristic".

Also, it is possible to modify the property.
