ID Manager (Conceptual Design)
The ID Manager enables you to associate equipment IDs with existing equipment nodes or place new equipment nodes into the current design file together with the selected equipment IDs.
The equipment IDs have been imported through the
XLS
import interface or an iModel import.
After requesting lock and reading, call up the advanced features in the ID Manager with the right mouse button.
The ID Manager is setup with a Menu Bar at the top listing the available commands. Details on the menu commands are provided in the tables below.
