5.18.2.3. Conparts

Defines which parts can be connected and in which way.

Definition

  <conparts>
    <connection ftype="..." ttype:"..." both="..." >
      <condtion>
        <variable part="to" valuefrom="100" valueto="200">
      </condition>
      <flip tcon="tocon" angles="..." trev="tocon_face"
      <tabmapping tvar="..." fvar="..." sync="..." />
    </connection>
  </conparts>

conparts (connection parts)

Child element:

connection

Attributes

fid

Name of the part (optional if ftype is specified)

fcon

Name of connection points

ftype

Alternative to fid + fcon, the type could be specified. Multiple types can be specified by using a “,” separator.

tid

Name of the part (optional if ttype is specified)

tcon

Name of connection points

ttype

Alternative to tid +tcon, the type could be specified. Multiple types can be specified by using a “,” separator.

	Hinweis
	There are two basic ways to specify the connection: The `id` attribute under <`part`> is referenced by the `fid` and `tid` attribute under <`connection`> and the `name` attribute under <`part`> -> <`cp`> is referenced by the `fcon` and `tcon` attribute under <`connection`>. A more flexible way of referencing is using the `type` attribute. The `type` attribute under <`part`> -> <cp> is referenced by the `ftype` and `ttype` attribute under <`conparts`>.

both

Value = 0: One direction. "FROM" part can be connected with "TO" part.

Value = 1: Both directions

	Hinweis
Normally the value should be '1'. Please check, and possibly change to '1'.

Hinweis

Normally the value should be '1'.

Please check, and possibly change to '1'.

automatic

Value "1": If there is no other rule to follow and no other part possible, the connection would be automatically processed.

	Achtung
	Avoid recursive calls.

destroyWithConnection

If the connection will be destroyed (concerning "from" part or "to" part), the connected element will also be destroyed.

	Hinweis
Example: If the connection point is not available with a certain size, the connection elements will be destroyed.

Hinweis

Example:

If the connection point is not available with a certain size, the connection elements will be destroyed.

Child elements:

flip (especially for angles)
Attributes:
tcon
angles: (comma separated listed; the first value is default.
strict: values: 0/1(1:only specified angles may be used)

distance

This tag allows setting a distance between two connected parts.

Attributes:

valuefrom: minimum value of distance

valueto: maximum value of distance

values: values the distance can take

strict: has to be one of the given values

tabmapping (mapping of table values)

Example: The element to be inserted should have the same hight.

Attributes:

fvar: Name of the variables in part FROM.

tvar: Name of the variables in part TO.

fvalue: Value for fvar.

tvalue: Value for tvar.

force: 1: Is always mapped. It does not matter whether 'a' is connected at 'b' or the other way around.

reset: 1: If connection is released, the value in resetval will be returned.

resetval:

sync="always" : If this option is selected, a tab mapping will be done after every change of the named variable. If not used, a tab mapping will be done only during the first building of the part.

condition

A condition must be used, when the connection is only valid under a certain condition.

Hinweis

Example:

The connection element for a slide door has to have a minimum size. This should be specified using a condition element.

Example

  <conparts>
    <connection ftype="pipe_l" ttype="pipe_r,pipe_l,bow" both="1">
      <flip tcon="tocon" angles="0,45,60,90,115,180,215,270" trev="tocon_face" />
      <tabmapping tvar="DURCHMESSER" fvar="DURCHMESSER" sync="always" />
      <tabmapping tvar="STAERKE" fvar="STAERKE" sync="always" />
    </connection>
  </conparts>
