The Location field is primarily used for a location designation, as that is defined by IEC1346. This means that you will enter the "plus-designation" here, like +S1 or similar.

 

You can either type the location designation directly in the Location field, or use the Selection button to the right of the field, to select the designation from a list of all currently existing location designations in the project.

 

Normally, you should always use a plus sign ("+") as the first character of the location designation.

 

Please note that the interpretation of the specified location designation differs depending on the project parameter settings, primarily when it comes to the use of multiple levels. If you are using item designations in multiple levels, the specified location designation (like +S1) is interpreted as a sub-level of the surrounding location, unless you choose to ignore the surroundings with a greater than sign (like >+S1), in which case the specified location will be regarded as on the "top level".

 

Please refer to the Boundary box background topic for a detailed explanation of how boundary boxes are interpreted depending on the circumstances.

 

The Selection button is described in the sub-topic that is listed below.
