Place User Cell Dialog

The Place User Cell dialog similar to the one shown below displays whenever you want to place components using a User Cell component class.

Access when a User Cell component option is selected from the User Cells gallery.

The following dialog displays:

Note: The dialog above displays when the Equipment option is selected from the User Cells gallery. The list of cells is derived from the Equipment.cel library.

The User Cell Class is created in the Class Editor and is linked to a .Cel library which stores the individual component cells. For a normal cell based component, a specific CellName is defined when the component class is created. When creating a User Cell Class, the CellName field is not defined. Because of this, the dialog displays when a User Cell Placement option is selected. It provides a list of component cells available in the .Cel library for the user to choose from.

Setting	Description
Insert By	Select the insertion point on the component to use for placement. The options available in this list will change depending on the component chosen and the insertion/connection points which were defined for the component.
Cells	Select the desired component cell. A graphic image of the component displays in the preview pane.
Mirror local X/Y enabled	When enabled, you have the option to place the component as its shown in the preview pane, or as a mirror image of the preview by clicking a point to the left or right of the component upon placement. Note: This option does not apply to all component options.
Rotate enabled	When enabled, you have the option to rotate the component to the correct placement position.
Flow dependent	This option is only applicable to inline components where the flow of the component is derived from the flow of the line it is placed on.

Filters

The filter field lets you define a filter for the list. For example, if you want to displays just pumps from the Equipment.cel library, enter pump into the field and click the Apply Filter button as shown below.

Note: Wildcards can be used in the filters if desired.
