Split Drawings into Attachments and Spools
Shows step-by-step how to divide components into different systems and spools in order to create assembly plans for example on the basis of this division.
Before you begin
You wish to divide the components of a drawing into different systems (assemblies) and spools, for example, to create assembly plans based on this division.
Requirements:
- Layer management must be active (
). - The layer key must contain variables for the partition (Spools/Sections) and System (
). - The components must be located on layers that contain a layer abbreviation for spools/sections and systems.
- The systems to which you want to assign components have already been created ().
Navigate to:
Applies to Heating, Potable Water, Waste Water, Ventilation, Radiant Heating and Cooling, Cooling, Gas, Fire protection, Electrical, Mounting planning.
Procedure
- If necessary, open the LINEAR Properties by clicking the
button in the footer of the Control Board. - In the drawing, select the components that you want to assign to a system or spool. Note: If necessary, use the Select pipe or duct sections function to select the components (
). - In the LINEAR Properties, click on View properties of (...) components (
). The properties of the selected components are displayed. - Specify the desired system or spool for the components in the LINEAR Properties under General via the drop-down list System or Partition / Spool.
- Cancel the component selection and select other components to assign them to a system or spool.
Results
You have divided components into different systems and spools.
