Example 2

Now the diagram has one equipment with a secondary shape and two sub-equipments.

When this group of shapes is marked and copied and pasted, the system will ask if new database items should be created for each shape, or if they should become secondary shapes. This question is asked for each shape.

If new database items are chosen, the system will create two new equipments, making the secondary shape become an individual equipment item.

When creating the database items for the sub equipment, the ownership of the sub equipment is determined by proximity. In this example, sub equipment Equipment-002-Sub-001 is owned by Equipment-002 because it is positioned closest to that equipment shape.

For the same reason Equipment-003-Sub-001 is owned by Equipment-003 because it is closer to that equipment than to Equipment-002.

If both sub equipments are closer to one of the equipment shapes than the other, they will both be owned by this equipment:

In this case, both sub equipments are owned by Equipment-002.
