Text Constants MOD000012

Access

  • Customizer → Master Data → Text Constants

Information

  • Text Constants are multilingual texts (I-texts). In the PLANTA software, one and the same text constant can be used both by the customizing and by the source.

Details

  • Constants can be created by the system customizer. You will automatically receive your ID number, which consists of the license number + a three-digit counter.

    • Example of text constants: File names for the construction of OLE objects in legend data areas.

  • Some constants are hard-coded programmed text constants that must not be changed. E.g.

    • day names

    • month names

    • yes, no (for dialog messages)

Create text constants

  • Insert → Constant from the context menu.

  • Enter the name of the text constant in the Constant field.

    • The ID of the constant is automatically generated as soon as you click outside the Constant field.

    • Furthermore, the entry of the dialog message, which can then be used in the Python code, is generated in the Python code field.

  • Save.

Note

  • Changes to standard text constants are not update secure.
