Direct Selection by Shortcode

Model Reference Manual

The actual Specification Component name (SPREF for Components, LSTU or HSTU for Tube) can be specified in order to Select a Component. This overrides the ordinary Selection process by directly choosing the required item. The shortcode option assumes Selection from the Current Branch Specification by automatically providing the specname part. Thus it is assumed that the Specification Component name is of the form /specname/shortcode.


Examples:
SHOR /EL50	The current element SPRE attribute will be set to /specname/EL50 where /specname is obtained from the Branch.
SHOR TUB /TU50	The current element STU (or HSTU) attribute will be set to /specname/TU50 where /specname is obtained from the Branch.

Note:

/specname is shown as * on AVEVA E3D™ Specification listings.
