Status Bar

Status message

Shows status messages, for instance how many shapes are selected at the moment.

Message Log

Shows the latest message in the Message Log. By clicking on this panel, the Message Log window will be shown (refer to the section Message Log for further information).

Current Line

Shows the name of the current Pipeline/HVACline. The application remembers the latest Pipeline/HVACline that was selected by the user. In case the CE moves to another part of the schematic hierarchy, for instance by selecting an equipment item, the latest selected Pipeline/HVACline will still be remembered and shown in this panel. If any new branches are added, they will be created in the line shown in this panel. If you click on this panel, the line shown will become CE.

Sessions Defaults

When the mouse pointer is hovered over this panel the following tooltip will be shown:

Default System - Shows the current Default System. When new items, that can be part of the System hierarchy, are created they will be created under the current Default System.

Assigning the system to the default one always takes place when equipment, sub-equipment, cable elements, offline instruments and actuators are defined on the drawing. The same functionality for inline items (valves, fittings, inline instruments and HVAC fittings) is set to off by default. It is possible to turn it on by changing the setting Apply default system to inline components to True. The setting is available in Diagrams Options > Defaults > General Options > System configuration > System.

The current Default System can be changed by clicking on this panel, this will bring up the Standard DB Browse Dialogdialog.

Default Groups - This panel shows the current setting for Default groups. This can be either Individual per type or Get from CE. The Default Groups setting determines at which position in the main hierarchy (schematic groups) that new items will be created. By clicking on the panel, the Default Groups dialog will be shown (see below). In the Default Groups dialog, the default group can be set up for each type of item. In case UDETs are being used, separate settings can be applied for each UDET type.

In case the Get Default Group from CE checkbox is checked, new elements will instead be created under the Schematic Group which is found in the CE path.

Default Attributes - This panel shows the number of currently used default attributes.
