Schematic Model Viewer Toolbar

When the ConnMapAddin with Schematic module is successfully loaded the Schematic Model Viewer Toolbar is shown as a Contextual tab in the Ribbon menu. Tools on that toolbar allow you to control the ConnMapAddin behavior.

Create Model View

Inline Items

By selecting the View Inline Items command, the viewer will change into a mode where all inline fittings are shown. These will be placed along the lines between the branching points, like knots on a piece of string. The branching points will also be illustrated by an icon representing the kind of fitting it is, rather than the generic branching point icon used when inline fittings are not shown.

Center

When a model map is created for an element, the system automatically inserts that item in the centre, all connections' lines must start from the centre item, and there is a possibility to also change the centre item. To do so, select any item on a drawing and execute the Centre command. The item is then highlighted and moved to the centre and the window will be changed.

Expand

By selecting an item and using the Expand command, all connections to that item will be traversed and expanded.

Collapse

Items that have previously been expanded can also be collapsed, restoring the previous state.
