Create the Framework, and Classification

When you create a Framework in the Hangers & Supports application, a Framework (FRMW) and a Restraint (REST) are created in the areas that you set on the Storage Areas form.

Supports are classified according to the type of element they support: for example, Pipes only, Cable Trays, The classification affects how the support is named: with the autonaming rules supplied, the type is shown by the first letter in the name, but this may be changed in your system.

Exercise continues:

1. Click the second icon on the Support Creation toolbox:

   

2. The Support Class form is displayed. Select Pipes only and OK the form.

   Note: The Support Class form is not displayed if classification has been switched off by the System Administrator using the Classification Field form.

   The Name Support form is displayed, showing a name generated from the default you set on the User Defaults form. For example, If the default is ABC999, the name generated will be P-ABC999-0001. Click OK. The default name for an automatically generated drawing is also shown.

   Note: If you make a mistake, and you want to delete the Support and start again, select Delete > Support from the main menu. This will delete the whole support tidily. You should not delete template members using the normal Delete option on the main menu.
