  1. Select an item - symbol or assembly, in the EDE. This triggers selection of all the related items with the same Source Tag in the Active Drawing Stockpile and the Plant Stockpile.

  2. In the Design Window, move the mouse pointer to where you want to place the item. The system displays handles before placement and a message appears with the following information:

  • Sequence number of the current item being placed, along with its item tag.

  • Total number of available related items.

Example:

Consider four related items - P-100A, P-100B, P-100C and P-100D. If the system has already placed the first item P-100A, it displays the following message before placement of the second item P-100B:

“Placing assembly 2 of 4 (P-100B)"

Place Items in EDE

  • The system displays handles and the message as mentioned in step 2 for all related items that it will place in the Design Window dynamically.

  • After an assembly is placed in the drawing, the system considers all items connected to the main item as individual components. Only the main item of the assembly will be associated with ABE through the Source Tag.

  • If, after placement, at least one assembly remains in one of the stockpiles, any new Create tasks generated in the To Do List for the source item will maintain their association with the assembly. If all the assemblies that share the same Source Tag are placed in the drawing or deleted from the stockpile, any new Create tasks generated will no longer be associated with the assembly but instead with the catalog item of the assembly main item (such as a pump). To associate a new Create task with the original assembly, you must select that assembly again manually.

  • You can let the placement of the items continue or you can cancel the operation and resume it when required.

  • If the selected item has related items in other drawings, the system places the items that are listed in the Active Drawing Stockpile and the Plant Stockpile.

  • You might not see all related items in the EDE when Pagination, Filter or Search criteria is applied, but when you select an item for placement, all related items in the Active Drawing Stockpile and the Plant Stockpile are dynamically placed in the drawing, whether they appear in the EDE or not.
