How To Create New Equipment
The Equipment
Manager enables you to create new equipment objects. You are able to either
create a parametric component using an existing equipment template, or create a
cell based component by creating a cell (or importing an existing cell) and
assigning equipment property values to it.
- Select Equipment Manager from the Bentley Raceway and Cable Management Detail Design Tasks Palette.
- In the Equipment Data section, click the New > Parametric from template option.
- In the Open dialog, select an existing equipment template file (*.xml) file to load into the Equipment Manager.
- The settings for each equipment component is saved as an .xml file.
- This will load the settings of the existing component which can be used as a template.
- Modify the settings for the component as desired.
- Click the Save icon to display the Save As dialog.
- Enter a name for the Equipment Component and click Save to complete the process.
