To show the sections of a line in addition to the name of it, proceed as follows:

• Right click the object name box, then choose Format for Line -> Default.
• Right click on the box once more, then choose Edit Format for Line.
• Set the Input Mode to Format Editor.
• Enter the format description described below.
• When you now press OK the new format will be used in your diagram.

The format description is as follows:

#$N,@:e:loc_name
$LOOP,_LSEC
Sections: $N,_FIRST
# #.## #$N,@:e:loc_name,@:dline,@:[dline
$END

The meaning of these commands is as follows:

Line 1: Output of element name
Line 2: Start of loop over all line sections
Line 3: Text "Sections" will only be printed out in the first iteration
Line 4: Description of names and lengths (incl. units) of sections
Line 5: End of loop

You also may add any further information in the loop.

It may be useful to store the format as a standard format. This is easily made using the following steps:

• Right click on the box once more, then choose Edit Format for Line.
• Press To Library and enter a new name, e.g. "Line Format Sections"

The format will be stored within your user settings and be available for any further projects.
