<Project>$ZONE.DBF

The default field structure for the zones IMAGE file, <Project>$ZONE.dbf, is as follows:

Field NameWidthDescription
DRAWING255The name of the drawing file that the zone is from.
BLOCK25The partial name of the block representing the zone.
HANDLE20The AutoCAD handle for the symbol.
ZONE10The Zone Name.
X110X co-ordinate of the top left corner of the zone.
Y110Y co-ordinate of the top left corner of the zone.
X210X co-ordinate of the bottom right corner of the zone.
Y210Y co-ordinate of the bottom right corner of the zone.

The image file for zones contains entries for both rung-number zones and single line zones.

When you modify zone tag information (ZONE column) in the $ZONE.dbf file the Global Editor will search for the use of that zone tag text within tag names of other components such as the TAGNAME column of the $DEVICES.dbf file and the TBLOCK and T1 columns of the $TERM.dbf file. Where the zone tag is recognised the corresponding tag names will be updated to suit the new zone tag in these files.
