Subset Settings Dialog Box

Subset Settings provides a way to assign IDs to the Layouts contained in the selected Subset. The ID definitions in Subset Settings are applied if you have selected “Use Hierarchy” as the ID assignment method in Book Settings.

The Subset Settings dialog box can be accessed from the Navigator in one of three ways, provided that the Tree by Subsets view is displayed and the given Subset is selected:

Click the Settings button at the bottom of the Navigator palette.

Choose the Subset Settings command in the context menu opened by right-clicking (or Ctrl-clicking) the name of the Subset.

Click the “Settings” icon at the middle of the Navigator palette.

For more information, see Navigator Palette.

Subset Identification Panel

Use the controls in this panel to assign an ID to the selected subset.

For more information, see Layout and Drawing IDs.

Do not include this Subset in ID sequence: Check this box to exclude the Subset from automatic ID assignment. (If you check this box, the following option for automatic ID assignment is grayed.)

Assign ID Automatically: Choose this option to assign an ID automatically, based on the Prefix and Style defined in Book Settings.

Custom ID: Choose this option to assign a Subset ID of your choice.

IDs of Items in this Subset Panel

These controls affect the IDs of Layouts contained in this Subset.

Continue Using ID Assignment of Upper Levels: Check this option if you want Layouts within this Subset to be assigned IDs as if they were not within this Subset, but rather part of the level above. In this case you are only using the Subset as a logical grouping which has no effect on IDs.

Customize ID assignment: Check this option if you want the Layouts inside the Subset to be assigned custom IDs:

- Use Prefix & IDs of Upper Levels: Layouts in this subset will be assigned IDs based on the previous Layout in the Layout Book structure.

- Add Prefix for this Subset:

Note: When IDs by letters exhausts the alphabet, the numbering continues as follows: y, z, aa, ab, ac. (The initial letter in double-letter numbering always consists of a single character regardless of the language being used.)

When moving a Subset within the hierarchy, IDs are automatically adjusted accordingly.
