You must then load the form, only to realize it is not the correct one that you used last week in another project. The more you use this procedure, the greater the "danger" of losing your perspective at a later stage: What forms/plot frames have I already created, what do they look like, and which ones can I now use as templates for a new form/plot frame? The "final story" is that you must eventually click through many forms/plot frames, and the small preview does not always provide you with all the information on the form/plot frame that you need. Not all the details and possibilities of the form editor, plot frame editor, or symbol editor will be handled here.ġ0.1 Preparatory MeasuresAlthough it is convenient to edit the system master data of any project, this also carries certain "dangers".
This chapter provides a brief explanation of the basic steps required for editing. However, this is usually very time consuming. You can, of course, create this from scratch if you wish. It should generally be noted that it is easier and faster to base your new edited master data on existing master data. If you follow this procedure then, when performing updates or similar, the new EPLAN master data supplied can simply replace your own EPLAN master data of the same name. You can then modify this copy as you wish. Master Data Editorsthen it is highly recommended that you copy this and provide a new name. It is possible to modify these but, if EPLAN master data is suitable as the basis of your own master data, Master data supplied with EPLAN should not be modified. You access the various editors via the menu UTILITIES / MASTER DATA. If modified master data is also to be used in the current project, then after modifying the master data, a synchronization of the system master data with the project master data should be performed, i.e., the query asking if the data should be synchronized must be answered with YES. Project master data is never modified by the master data editors, rather the form or plot frame in the system master data directory is modified, or newly created in the master data system directories. It is always the system master data that is modified. However, if special conditions for appearance exist or if particular project data is to appear in the forms and this is not possible with the standard EPLAN forms supplied, then new master data such as (e.g.) a form must be created from scratch.Menu Master dataĮPLAN always creates temporary copies of master data for editing, and they can always be edited from within any project. These are normally sufficient for most applications. Hanser Publishers, Munich Hanser Publications, Cincinnatiġ0 Master Data EditorsEPLAN includes a range of ready to use system master data such as FORMS or PLOT FRAMES.
