Occasionally an EPLAN a user will have the need to display a property on a form that is already available in a schematic or a layout, Many users feel that this task can be simplified with the use of EPLAN Property IDs. Since EPLAN projects are a database file (.edb) it is not surprising that these properties would all have unique IDs. These IDs can also be displayed in the application interface which many users find convenient.
| Default display: Without Property IDs enabled | Custom display: With Property IDs enabled |
 |
 |
To enable the EPLAN Property IDs:
Edit your user settings at the following location:
Options > Settings > User > Display > User Interface: [x] Display Identifying numbers
| [x] Display Identifying numbers |
 |
|
The result
|
Some users may find it a bit confusing to have the properties displayed before the property names so EPLAN has an additional setting that will display the IDs “behind” or after the property names.
| Display the Property IDs “behind the name”. |
| Options > Settings > User > Display > User Interface: [x] Display Identifying numbers Options > Settings > User > Display > User Interface: [x] Behind the name  |

Enjoy..
