Sections or for groups of drawing sheets. Installation and Location or for
physical locations, like =LINE1 for Installation and +MAINCAB for Location.
Reports can be filtered based upon these criteria so you can get a BOM for a
certain panel or a wire list between two panels, etc. This system comes
from our European friends. I worked for a German company for 12 years and
we used this religiously. It is a very good system and makes it easy to
extract detailed reports later.
Some users, especially in the USA, use the location code to indicate certain
mounting surfaces within one panel, like top, bottom, left, right, back
panel, etc. They may not even make use of the Installation code at all in
this case. An OEM building one control panel for their machine might be a
good example of using only the Location code but not the installation code.
On the other hand, someone designing an entire assembly line with multiple
panels may prefer to use the Installation code and the Location code. You
can force AcadE to see the Installation, Location, and Tag as one entity by
invoking the IEC tag mode under the Project properties Components tab. This
way you could have multiple panels built exactly alike, except the
Installation code might be LINE1 instead of LINE2. This way the Electrical
Audit feature of AcadE will not ding you for duplicating tags.

I used signal types as Installation codes ( 24VDC, 0VDC, 240VAC, N, PE) as I
red some where as a sample . bbut the problem is in terminal strip tabular
reports I can't arrange pages just with location or TSID and every different
location,installation and TSIDs(sections) goes to different pages and
options about how many sections do you whant to be in each page doesnt work.
Does anyone have this problem?
