Activate

Purpose:

To activate one or more panels, allowing changes to be made to the panels without opening the scheme. The activated panels will be locked in the database to prevent others from making changes.

Prerequisites:

A hull view containing the required panels must exist in the current drawing.

Instructions:

Indicate the panel to be activated. Continue indicating if further panels should be activated.

Options:

Selecting Options will display a form, which gives the option of including and excluding specific panels or blocks, given as names with wild cards. Panel activation may be performed by a combination of both graphically selected and named panels.

Result:

The selected panels will be highlighted with a rectangle placed around all views in the drawing that contain the panel. The rectangle will have either a letter S or a letter M on the line. S means Stored and indicates that the panel is identical to the panel on the data bank, and M means Modified and indicates that the panel has been modified after activation.
