Create Equipment

This command enables the user to construct unique or odd-shaped pieces of equipment from existing graphical elements.

Note: This option does not define a new component type which is stored in the schema. This command only allows you to assign an equipment type, tag number and property values to an existing geometric shape(s) in the drawing. However, you are able to use the Copy command to create additional instances of the new component.
