View/Edit Import Destination SCGROUP Elements

When diagrams (SCDIAG), off-line instruments (SCOINS), off-line equipment (SCEQUI) and pipelines (SCPLIN) are imported, they are automatically placed in groups (SCGROU) within the database hierarchy.

The groups these elements are placed in may be specified using attribute mappings. For further information, refer to View/Edit Attribute Mappings.

Alternately, the groups that these elements are placed in can be specified by the user using the Import Destination Groups dialog, as described below.

If both an attribute mapping and the Import Destination Groups dialog have been used to specify the destination group for an element, then the attribute mapping will be applied.

If neither of these methods is used, the elements are instead placed in default groups, which are automatically created in the database as part of the import process (if they do not already exist).

The names of the default groups are in the following format:

<database name>/*/<name of element type>

For example:

To view or edit the groups into which diagrams, off-line equipment, equipment and pipelines are imported into, select the View/Edit option on the Import Configuration tab. The Import Destination Groups dialog is then displayed.

The Database field displays the name of the current Schematic database. To view/change the import destination groups of another database, select it from the drop-down list. The list consists of every Schematic database in the MDB.

The grid beneath the Database field lists the four element types and the names of the groups into which they are imported.

To select a different group for an element type, select the ... option at the end of the row. The Select Group dialog is then displayed:

Browse for the required group and select the OK option. Click Cancel to close the dialog without making any changes.

Repeat as required for each of the four element types.

Click the OK option to close the Import Destination Groups dialog and save any changes that have been made. Click Cancel to close the dialog without saving changes.
