Sets options for adding designed equipment to your model. This ribbon appears automatically after you select the Place Designed Equipment Command Place Designed Equipment ICON and then select an equipment type. Until a shape has been added to the designed equipment, only the Equipment Properties, Equipment Name, and Active System controls are available.

SHARED Tip To add a shape to the designed equipment and enable the remaining ribbon controls, select Place Shape Command .

Equipment Properties

Edits the occurrence properties and review the static properties of an existing piece of equipment. Equipment properties can be edited only after the designed equipment is placed in the model.

User Defined Form Definition

Displays User Defined Form for the particular equipment if it is defined in the catalog. See the Equipment and Furnishings Reference Data Help.

Relationship List

Lists all relationships for the selected designed equipment and provides an option for creating a new relationship if the equipment is not already fully constrained. An equipment object is fully constrained when it has sufficient defined relationships to prevent movement or rotation of the object along all three coordinate axes. This control is only available after a shape has been added to the designed equipment.

Positioning Relationships

Displays the available options for types of Positioning Relationships: Mate, Align, Connect Minimum Distance, Mate to Tangent Plane, and Parallel. Some options might not be available for all designed equipment types.

Delete Relationship

Removes the selected relationship from the equipment model and the database. Using the Relationships List box, select a previously existing relationship for the designed equipment, and click Delete Relationship. You can use this command only when modifying existing designed equipment. This control is available only after a shape has been added to the designed equipment.

Equipment Reference

Prompts you for the reference on the designed equipment to be placed that will be affected by the positioning relationship. In all cases, the part that you select in this step moves to create the relationship, and the part chosen in the Second Part Reference step remains fixed.

Second Part Reference

Prompts you for the reference on the equipment object or reference element already in the model that will be affected by the positioning relationship. After you select the reference, the software repositions the first designed equipment object chosen with respect to the second object selected in the definition of the relationship. This control is available only after a shape has been added to the designed equipment.

Offset

Defines the offset distance for a mate or align relationship. Offsets are disabled when establishing a connect relationship. You can adjust this value after initial equipment placement if needed. This control is available only after a shape has been added to the designed equipment.

Name

Displays the designed equipment name, as dictated by your predefined name rules, and accepts changes to that name.

System

Specifies the system with which to associate the selected equipment. The default system is the model itself.
