Range
The keyword displays the attribute of a section, e.g. ID, BEZ, or MEMO_XXX (where XXX is a text-variable in the MEMO-field). It can be used in a text box or text cell of the PlotDesigner. The value of addressed attributes are only shown on print-preview or on printing. This enables to create a print-layout for several sections with displaying their individual description.
| Syntax | #(Keyword, Parm1, Parm2) |

| Parameter 1 | identifier of the attribute which has to be printed, e.g. ID, BEZ (=Description, also multi-line), default is ID |

In a text box, the following three expressions are inserted using the keyword #(Range, ...):
| #(Range, ID) | to display the ID of the current section |
| #(Range, Bez, A1) | to display the name of the section A1, where "A1" is the name of the section in the PlotDesigner (not in CadnaA itself) |
| #(Range, MEMO_X) | to display the text variable X of the current section |
The attributes of the section are not displayed directly, but only when a plot cell is printed via the PlotDesigner.
