Hyphen, optional (glossary)
The purpose of optional hyphens is to specify separation points for longer words. Where required, automatic separation occurs at these points and optional hyphens are inserted.
When entering an attribute text, for example, optional hyphens can be specified. They are indicated by a placeholder (
). If, for example, optional hyphens are inserted for an object name, the name is automatically adjusted if the size of the object is changed.
Example
You insert optional hyphens when entering the text:
When you press the enter key or click in the modeling area, you exit the text box and the name is separated.
When you enlarge the object, the name is separated at a different place and provided with a hyphen. The previously displayed hyphens are removed.
