One example of the use of document codes is from the Sample IEC1355 English demonstration project, which is included at delivery of cadett ELSA. That project contains four drawing sheets, with two different set of document codes (EFS and ETL). Please refer to the table below.

 

File name

Area (first character)

Class (second character)

Subclass (third character)

EFS______001.DXF

E = Electrical engineering

F = Function describing documents

S = Circuitry documents

EFS______002.DXF

E = Electrical engineering

F = Function describing documents

S = Circuitry documents

EFS______003.DXF

E = Electrical engineering

F = Function describing documents

S = Circuitry documents

ETL______001.DXF

E = Electrical engineering

T = Geometrical form describing documents

L = Arrangement documents

 

In the example above, the first three characters define document codes for area, class and subclass. The following three characters define a so-called "counting number", but for the four sheets in the table, that document code is undefined and therefore specified with three underscores ("___"). After those, you will find three additional underscores, which are constants. The final three characters specify the sheet number.

 

The file name composition, which is part of the project parameters, is described in detail in a sub-topic of the Project Module topic, which is called File name composition.

 

The figure below explains the example above.

In the figure below, a second example is explained. It deals with legacy drawing classes and drawing types that was used in old cadett ELSA versions and which are still in wide-spread use.
