Generating Core Connection Diagrams

After the core connections have been established using the Cable Core Connection Definition dialog, the Generate Core Connections Diagram command can be used to create the connection diagram layout. This will be created as a new diagram that can be manually annotated, saved, printed, and so on.

The Diagrams application is delivered with a standard core connections diagram layout which can be considered a sample. As there is a wide variety of preferred layouts and many companies have their own layout standards, the program source code for the Core Connections diagram generation is provided on the support site (www.aveva.com/support). It is therefore possible for customers to modify the layout by modifying the program code, or to create totally different layouts by creating new code, perhaps with some inspiration from the standard sample.

The program code is contained within the following C# source files:

• CableInfo.cs

• CoreInfo.cs

• Commands.cs

• CoreConnectionsDiagram.cs

• CoreConnectionsDiagramAddin.cs

These can be found in the installation in folder C:\AVEVA\Marine\OH12.1.SP4\Samples\Samples.zip. Microsoft Visual Studio is required to modify and rebuild the Add-in.
