Add Grid Records

Provides an easy to use method for adding grid records to the drawing canvas. There are two stages. The first is to drag grid records over the drawing canvas, release the mouse and position the record. The second is to click the mouse or press Enter when the record is in the required position.

1. Drag one or more grid records over the canvas.

2. Release the mouse button.

   With no mouse button selected, move the mouse to position the record as required. Alternatively, use the left and right arrows on the keyboard to enable the X and Y fields and input coordinates.

   At this stage you can right-click and use options on the PowerWheel™ to pan the view left and right and to zoom in out.
   

3. Click the left mouse button or press Enter on the keyboard.

If the grid records cannot be dragged and dropped onto the drawing canvas, is displayed.

The item types that can be used on a drawing are defined using the Configuration module. For example, Engineering item types or Functional item types. If the grid records cannot be dragged and dropped onto the drawing canvas because the item type is not valid, a message is displayed.
