The fields here have the same meaning as the fields with identical names in the element editor (see Editing an Element Configuration).
If no explicit selection is made, (* in a field), the representation selected in the Elements tab applies to all possible selections.
Click OK to accept the settings and close theElement Properties window.
The element group is shown in theASCET Document Content window, Elements tab, below the combo box.
- Click OK to accept the settings and close the window.
- Close the Views window.
If the element groups for a view are defined in a way that some elements belong to more than one group (e.g., As Line for exported system constants, Hide for logical system constants), the actual representation results from the processing sequence of the view options in ASCET, it is not clearly defined. In the example, a logical, exported system constant can be displayed as line, or hidden.

When defining element groups, take care to avoid conflicts by multiple assignments of elements to groups. |
