Applying a typical schematic to a plant electrical item allows you to add a definition of a schematic to the selected plant item. You can then generate a schematic without the need to define the schematic drawing properties, such as schematic blocks, templates, and so forth.
-
In the Electrical Index, expand the folder hierarchy Electrical Equipment > Loads by selecting the + icons or by double-clicking the folders.
-
Select the Motors, Static Electrical Equipment, or Other Electrical Equipment folder.
-
Expand the folder and select an item from the list.
-
Select Tools > Apply Options.
-
On the Apply Options dialog, select the Typical Schematic tab.
-
Select Enable typical schematic.
-
Beside the Typical schematic box, select Find.
-
On the Find dialog, select Find Now to display the available typical schematics.
-
From the list of typical schematics, highlight the typical schematic that you want to assign to the item.
-
Select OK.
-
Under Apply to, select one of the following options according to the rule the software uses to apply the typical schematic:
-
All items — Applies the typical schematic to all the selected items.
-
Items with no typical schematic — Applies the typical schematic only to items without an existing typical schematic. Use this option to add a typical schematic only to new items among the items that you selected.
-
Items with a different typical schematic from the selection — Changes the typical schematic of the selected items to the current typical schematic. Use this option to add a typical schematic to items with a modified typical schematic definition.
-
-
Select Apply.
-
If you modify the components of a typical schematic that already has a reference from an item, the software does not update the change in the reference until you next apply a typical schematic or a profile to the item.
-
You can assign a new typical schematic or change an assigned typical schematic for an item at any time.
