Variable System for Series Machines

Create a single document template and automatically generate hundreds of machine-specific operating manuals. The variable system replaces placeholders like {{MACHINE_TYPE}}, {{MOTOR_POWER}} or {{SERIAL_NUMBER}} automatically with correct values – including variant blocks for different content per machine configuration.

16+ Template Variables for Mechanical Engineering

DokuTech.app provides 16+ predefined variables for mechanical engineering: machine type, serial number, year, motor power, weight, dimensions, voltage, protection class, temperature and more. Custom variables can be added anytime.

Variant Blocks and Inheritance

Variant blocks allow showing entire text sections only for specific machine configurations. Example: A 'Hydraulic System' chapter only appears for machines with hydraulics. Variant inheritance automatically transfers settings to all sub-chapters.

Colour Highlighting and Preview

In the editor, you instantly see every variable's status: green = successfully replaced, orange = value missing, red = unknown variable. The preview shows either placeholder view (for editors) or inserted values (for quality check). PDF export replaces all variables automatically.

FAQ

There is no limit. You can define as many variables as needed. The 16+ template variables are a starting point – add your own as required.
