Associate a Symbol with Multiple Items - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

You can associate a symbol with multiple items using the Batch Symbol Association command.

• Make sure that you have defined a custom symbol folder in the Smart Instrumentation Preferences dialog box for the appropriate enhanced report type before you associate a symbol with an item.

• When you associate a symbol with an item that can have more than one possible relation to other items for which you want to display data, make sure that the symbol you select uses macros with the appropriate relations. If a macro has an incorrect relation, the software cannot display the data.

1. In the Domain Explorer select on the folder that contains the items you want to associate with a symbol. For example, Device Panels.

2. In the tree view of the node you previously selected, select the items you want to associate with a symbol.

3. Right-click on the selected items, and from the shortcut menu select Actions > Batch Symbol Association.

4. On the Batch Symbol Association dialog, select New.

5. In the Name column, select the required report type.

6. Beside the Symbol File column, select Browse.

7. Navigate to the required symbol.

8. Select OK.

The Batch Symbol Association command is also available in various browsers using the browser shortcut menu > browser category, for example Wiring or Instrument Index > Batch Symbol Association.
