Applying a typical schematic to an instrument allows you to add a definition of a schematic to the selected instrument. You can then generate a schematic without the need to define the schematic drawing properties, such as schematic blocks, templates, and so forth.

  1. In the Electrical Index, expand the folder hierarchy Electrical Equipment > Instruments by selecting the + icons or by double-clicking the folders.

  2. Select the instruments that you require.

  3. Select Tools > Apply Options.

  4. On the Apply Options dialog, select the Typical Schematic tab.

  5. Select Enable typical schematic.

  6. Beside the Typical schematic box, select Find.

  7. On the Find dialog, select Find Now to display the available typical schematics.

  8. From the list of typical schematics, highlight the typical schematic that you want to apply to the selected instruments.

  9. Select OK.

  10. Under Apply to, select one of the following options according to the rule the software uses to apply the typical schematic:

    • All items - Applies the typical schematic to all the selected items.

    • Items with no typical schematic - Applies the typical schematic only to items without an existing typical schematic. Use this option to add a typical schematic only to new items among the items that you selected.

    • Items with a different typical schematic from the selection - Changes the typical schematic of the selected items to the current typical schematic. Use this option to add a typical schematic to items with a modified typical schematic definition.

  11. Select Apply.

  • If you modify the components of a typical schematic that already has a reference from an item, the software does not update the change in the reference until you next apply a typical schematic or a profile to the item.

  • You can assign a new typical schematic or change an assigned typical schematic for an item at any time.
