CAD Menu

The CAD menu contains commands to control the display of components.

Setting	Description
Redraw	Synchronizes the knowledge base portion of PlantWise to CAD communication. If changes have been made to the design file without using PlantWise commands, Redraw corrects the drawing to match the PlantWise database.
Display Toggles...	Opens the Display Toggles dialog. From here you can turn on and off the display of the model components that are not generally displayed. Show Plot Boundary turns on a bounding box that is defined by the Project Setup variables Grade, Levels Above Highest Obstacle, and Plot Boundary Offset (all discussed in Setup Variables). This bounding box is not calculated until the first time the model is routed. Show Routing Planes turns on alternating blue and green planes that represent the spacing between north-south running pipeline segments and east-west running pipeline segments. If there are structures in the model, their separate set of routing planes are also displayed. Routing planes are not calculated until the model has been routed. You can also set the display of components associated with structure routing: structure pipeways, vertical pipeways vertical chases, floor penetrations, reserved spaces, floors, and virtual pipeways. See Structure Routing Areas for a full description of these components. Proximity Toggles opens the Proximity Toggles dialog.
Pipeline Display Preferences...	Opens the Pipeline Display Properties dialog.
All Groups...	Opens the All Named Groups dialog. (See Group Edits for details on PlantWise groups).
Highlight Set	Opens the Highlight Component Set dialog so that you can generate a graphical report.
UnHighlight All	Un-Highlights all Highlighted elements of the model returning them to their original CAD Levels.
PlantDrafter...	Opens the Drawing List dialog.
