A Visio symbol can be created and connected to an existing database element using the following procedure:
-
Select the desired database element as ‘current element’.
-
Hold down the Shift key.
-
Drag and drop the Visio symbol from the stencil to the drawing area.
The Visio shape is assigned to the existing database element only when:
-
The master shape is of the same type as the database element, for example SCEQUIPMENT db element corresponding to an Equipment shape.
-
There is no currently selected database element on any drawing yet.
When a database element is assigned to a symbol an information message will be displayed in the message log informing that the shape has been linked to the existing database element.
If it is not possible to do assign an error message will be displayed and the dropped symbol will be removed from the drawing automatically.
