“Documentation“ Menu Item

The “Documentation“ menu item is used to create project documentation for a solution in PDF format. The area to be documented is indicated when an entity is selected. When an area is selected, the child elements below it are also selected. Besides the selection options offered under the “Documentation” menu item, attachments to or notes for an entity can also be included with the documentation. This allows you to include data sheets, circuit diagrams or instructions in the solution documentation, for example.
