A distinctive feature of nanoCAD Mechanica 25 is the possibility of linking the designation of textual information on the drawing with the text in the technical requirements.

When writing paragraphs of technical requirements (hereinafter TC), you can make reference within the proposal of the paragraph of technical requirements to any position or affixed view.

The textual information is the tolerances and dimensions, drawing zones, designations of types, cuts, sections, marking signs, marking of welded joints, position.

A change in the value of the textual information (for example, a part position number) will result in an automatic change in the TC text. If this position has been deleted, a warning will appear about the need to check a particular item of requirements.

The relationship between the TC and the designation works in the opposite direction. Changing the order of the points of the requirements (their numbering) is automatically reflected in the designation on the drawing (for example, a marking mark, the designation of which contains the item number from the technical requirements).
