Drawing > PlanView and Layout Tools > Populate Equipment

Commandline: pope

Explanation

This tool pulls the Plan View version of the equipment from the Equipment List. The assumption with this tool is that you will use it after you have done your functional drawings and assigned cable numbers and SysNames.

This tool relies on the Plan View File in the device definition to know what to place.

 

 

It relies on Location Boundaries in the drawing to know where to place it.

 

If the Plan View File is blank the Project Default Plan View File will be placed if the Location Boundary is found:

Application Menu > Settings [Project][Basic][Default Plan View Block File]

 

Prerequisites

1.SysNamed equipment preferably with an associated Plan View File in the global Equipment Library.

2.Location Boundaries placed in the drawing.

 

Operation

 

1.Start the tool.

2.A message box will explain the operation of the function. Click [OK]. The tool will run.

3.At completion the tool will report the number of placed items.
