AutoScheme Tools

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The AutoScheme tools create functional drawings or parts thereof from the data in the project systems and cables databases. This is useful to create detail or overall views.

The AutoScheme tools consist of two utilities. The Auto Block tool automatically places blocks in the drawing on a grid. The RatsNest tool checks the project cables database against the drawing. If connections defined in the cables database can be reproduced in the drawing because the SysNames and Ports exist, a cable is placed.
