The following commands are used when working in the Loop Drawings module.
Actions > Block - Instrument Type Assignment
Opens a dialog where you can assign CAD drawing blocks to a specific instrument type. You can assign instrument blocks or user-defined general blocks you want to display in all CAD loop drawings in addition to the logo and border blocks.
Actions > Default General Blocks
Opens a dialog where you can select your default logo and border blocks to be used in al CAD loop drawings that you generate.
Actions > Update Paths for Existing Drawings and Blocks
Opens a dialog where you can update in the database paths for existing CAD loop drawings and block files.
Actions > Show Latest Generated Drawing
Displays the latest loop drawing that you generated in your CAD application.
Actions > Clear Temporary Data
Clears macro result records of generated loop drawings. The software saves the macro results in the database for the next time you want to generate a loop drawing for the same loop. The saved data accumulates and at a certain stage might affect the generation performance.
Actions > Define External Macro Source
Allows you to define an external macro source.
Actions > Dissociate Blocks from Instruments
Opens a dialog where you can select one or more CAD drawing block and dissociate them in batch mode from a group of instruments.
Reports > Macros
Displays all the loop macros in the domain. You can select to display the macros in a single list ordered alphabetically, or grouped by item type.
Reports > User- Defined Macro Functions
Displays details of all available user-defined macro functions in the domain.
Tables > Macro Definitions
Allows you to create or modify user-defined macros for use with loop drawings only.
Tables > User- Defined Macro Functions
Allows you to define or modify macro functions that can then be used with user-defined macros for hook-up or loop drawings.
