Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer and then expand the hierarchy to the hook-up type level in the Hook-Ups folder.
-
In the tree view, select a hook-up type.
-
From the hook-up type, select and right-click one or more hook-ups.
In the Domain Explorer, you can also select hook-up types instead of hook-ups. In this case, you can generate
hook-up drawings that belong to all the hook-ups that are assigned to the selected
hook-up types.

Assign the required hook-up symbol file to the hook-up. For details, see Assign an Enhanced Symbol to a Hook-Up.

On the shortcut menu, select Reports > Generate Hook-Up Drawings to display the General tab of the Generate Hook-Up Drawings dialog.
-
From the Generation method list, select Enhanced Report.
Under Automatic save options for enhanced hook-up drawings, you can select Save drawings automatically to overwrite the default folder specified on the Preferences dialog, Enhanced Report > Hook-Ups > File Locations page. You can select Browse and specify a different folder for saving the hook-up drawings automatically as files
at the time of generation.
-
Select OK to generate the drawings for the selected hook-ups.
-
Generating an enhanced hook- up drawing with a Tag List and /or an Associated Item List, results in the lists being randomly positioned on your drawing. You can drag the lists and position them on the drawing as required. Each time you regenerate the drawing, the lists are randomly repositioned. To save the positions of the lists, drawing items, and so forth, in a Hook-Up drawing, use the File > Save Custom Changes > Save position at > Drawing level or Layout level command in the Enhanced Report Utility. For more information, see the Using Enhanced Report Layouts and the Saving Custom Changes to Enhanced Reports sections in the Enhanced Report Utility online help.
You can also generate Hook-Up drawings from a Hook-Up EDE view by selecting an EDE View with a column named: Hook-up Name.
-
From the shortcut menu, right-click a value from the column Hook-up Name, and select Reports > Generate Hook-Up Drawings.
