Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet
The Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet allows you to divide a part into multiple sections.
Each row in the Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet corresponds to a pin while each column corresponds to properties associated with the pins. The property names are listed as the column header. You can sort a property by double-clicking its column header.
Part Name--Displays the name of the part. This is a non-editable field.
Part Ref Prefix--Displays the part reference. This is a non-editable field.
You need to select a single-sectioned part from a library. You can split a multi-sectioned part only when it has already been split using the Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet.
To sort on any property, double-click its name in the column header.
You can hide or show a property column in the Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet. To do this, right-click the property column header you want to hide and select Hide from the pop-up menu. The selected property column will not appear now. To show a property column, right-click the property column header next, on the right-hand side of the hidden property column and select Unhide from the pop-up menu. The hidden property column appears in the Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet. Alternatively, you can show a property column by:
Double-clicking the column handle () of the property column header.
Dragging the column handle of the property column header.
(only the last two methods can be used to show a property column, which is the last column in the Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet).
You can change the order in which the property columns appear in the Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet. To do this, select the property column header you want to move and drag and drop it to the location where you want it in the Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet.
You can use standard copy and paste feature to copy all data from the Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet to MS Excel. You can later use the MS Excel file for archiving or documentation. It is recommended that you avoid using MS Excel to paste information into the Split Part Section Input Spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet window is resizable. You can resize the window using the resize cursor you see when you move the mouse pointer to any of the edges of the dialog. You can also use the standard Maximize button on the top right corner of the window.

Part Numbering
Specify a numbering format (alphabetic or numeric) that should be added as suffix to the current part reference for the split part.
If you select Alphabetic, an alphabet (between A to Z) will be added as a suffix to the current part reference for each of the split parts.
If you select Numeric, a number (between 1 and 1024) will be added as a suffix to the current part reference for each of the split parts.
Note: The Section property column changes based on your selection in the Part Numbering group. For example, if Alphabetic is selected, the Section property column displays "A".
No. of Sections
Specify the number of sections you want to have in the split part.
Note: If you select alphabetic numbering, then you can create up to a maximum of 26 sections only. If you select numeric numbering, then you can create up to a maximum of 1024 sections.
