Set up ID Separators

Explanation

This activity is used to define ID separators for a particular design object class, design part class or a set of classes.

The ID separators work in conjunction with ID models to make them easier to read when they appear in the design object and design part IDs. ID separators could have various characters (%, -, etc.) that divide the combined IDs (Primary 01, Primary 02 or Secondary 01, Secondary 02, etc.) as defined for an ID Model. A prefix and a suffix can also be defined for both primary and secondary IDs.

Prerequisites

A standard and a class should be defined.

System Effects

ID separators and their class connections are established.
