The file name is 12 characters long and composed in the following way:

 

•The first 3 characters of the file name defines Area, Class and Subclass according to IEC1355.

 

•The following 3 characters defines the counting number as defined by IEC1355. In both cadett ELSA implementations, the counting number is primarily used to separate between different kinds of documents that fall in the same IEC1355 document sub-class, for instance different kinds of device lists or different kinds of wiring lists. When no need for a counting number exists, as for circuit diagrams, these positions are filled with underscores.

 

•The last 3 characters of the file name define the sheet number.

 

•3 characters in the middle are left for other needs, such as a function oriented structure or other needs that may occur. By default, these positions are occupied by a constant in the form of 3 underscores.

 

•Sheet numbering is done individually for each type of document.

 

The file names could look like the simple example below:

 

 

This corresponds to file names like EK___001.DXF when using legacy document codes in the demonstration projects of older cadett ELSA versions.

 

The example above is from the SOURCE directory. The example below comes from the TARGET directory:

 

 

In that example, a counting number is needed to differ between cable lists and cable core lists, which share the same document kind classification code according to IEC1355.
