Generate Hook-Up Drawings in Mixed Mode - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

• When generating hook-up drawings in mixed mode, you use the As previously applied option of the Generate Hook-Up Drawings dialog. Mixed mode enables you to generate CAD hook-ups drawings and enhanced hook-up drawings altogether: CAD hook-up drawings for hook-ups whose generation method in the Domain Explorer is indicated as C and enhanced hook-up drawings for hook-ups whose generation method in the Domain Explorer is indicated as E. You must first assign your hook-ups to the appropriate generation methods. For details, see Apply a Drawing Generation Method to Hook-Ups.

• A complete hook-up drawing generation scenario is described in the Help topic Hook-Up Drawing Generation.

1. Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer and then expand the hierarchy to the hook-up type level in the Hook-Ups folder.

2. In the tree view, select a hook-up type.

3. 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.

   • For hook-up drawing generation in mixed mode, you selection can include hook-ups assigned to the CAD generation method, hook-ups assigned to the Enhanced Reports method, and also hook-ups that are not assigned to any generation method.

4. On the shortcut menu, select Reports > Generate Hook-Up Drawings to display the General tab of the Generate Hook-Up Drawings dialog.

5. Select the CAD Options tab and define options for CAD hook-up drawings as you require.

   You must first set generation options for CAD hook-up drawings because after you select As previously applied on the General tab, the CAD Options tab becomes disabled. For example, on the CAD Options tab, you can select the Send to plotter or printer check box if you want to print out the generated CAD hook- up drawings at the time of generation. This check box is cleared by default.

6. Select the General tab.

7. From the Generation method list, select As previously applied.

   

   • After you select As previously applied, the CAD Options tab and the Automatic save options for enhanced hook-up drawings become disabled. When generating the drawings, the software saves the output files to the default folders whose paths you specified on the Preferences dialog individually for CAD drawings and enhanced hook-up drawings, which are generated by the Enhanced Report Utility.

   • If you hook-up selection in the Domain Explorer includes hook-ups that are not assigned to any method, the software applies the method displayed in the Default generation method box. You define the default generation method on the Hook-Ups > General page of the Preferences dialog.

8. Select OK to generate the hook-up drawings for the selected hook-ups.

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.
