Details on the “Systems ...” Area

Information on the Systems ... area on the project tab.

In this area, you can further subdivide complex drawings with the help of attachments.
Note: To use this function, the layer management must be activated and a suitable layer key must be created.

You are here:

Project tab ➤ Systems

Systems Linear AutoCAD

Systems ...: Opens the Systems dialog in which you can create, edit and delete systems.

: The system is switched on and all layers containing the code for this system are visible.

: The system is switched off and all layers containing the code for this system are hidden. When the superior level (e.g. the trade, see layer key) is switched back on, the status of the locked system is not effected.

: One or more layers belonging to the corresponding system are switched off.

To switch systems on or off, click again on the light bulb symbol or use the layer properties manager of your CAD program.

Right-clicking in the list of systems opens a context menu in which you are offered various menu items for switching systems on and off.

Note: If you have created a system in 3D - Model Planning, you can use the Create Assembly Plan < command to automatically generate detailed plans from the individual systems. This requires the 3D pipes and components to be located on layers that contain a layer abbreviation for systems.
