Create Hook-Ups - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

Prerequisite

• Set a specific hook-up item library as the active item library for the current <plant>. For details, see Set an Item Library as the Active Item Library.

1. Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer.

2. Expand the item hierarchy of the current <plant>.

3. Right-click the Hook-Ups folder, and select New > Hook-Up, or New > Hook-Up Type.

4. If you right-clicked the Hook-Ups folder, from the Hook-up type list, select the target hook-up type.

5. In the appropriate boxes, enter a name for the new hook-up and a description.

   If the same name is used for more than one hook-up then the description must be unique.

6. Type a unique name for the item sub-library and an optional description.

7. From the Item sub-library list, select a sub-library to which you want to assign the hook-up.

   If you do not work with user-defined sub-libraries, the software assigns the hook- up to the default sub-library automatically. If you work with user-defined sub-libraries, we recommend that you read the topic Change a Hook-Ups Sub-Library Association.

8. Besides Drawing block file name and path, select Browse to navigate to the drawing block file name and path.

   

   • Select View to open the selected drawing in the CAD application installed on your computer.

   • The path setting that appears in the Generation output path box is the path that you specified in the Generate Hook-Up Drawings dialog. The software only displays the path if you already generated a hook-up drawing for the source hook-up.

9. Select OK to create the hook-up.

It is possible to create more than one hook-up by duplicating several existing hook-ups that you can select in the tree view. To display the hook-ups in the tree view pane, select the parent hook-up type or the Hook-Ups folder. When duplicating a hook-up, the software also duplicates all of the hook-up items that are associated with the source hook-ups.
