Standards
If you want to create classes according to a specific standard (for example, DIN, ISO, or ANSI) you can enter data about the standard on the Std tab. The fields on this screen only apply to DIN standards.
If you create a DIN class by copying DIN 4001 data, the system automatically makes entries in the following fields on this screen: Class, Class type, Standard, Standard number, Version date, and Chars table. The standard title and standard description are copied to the class as keywords. If required, you can maintain the standard title and standard description manually as long texts on the standards data screen.
The Std tab contains the following fields:
