    Create cells by keyin

    AskInga logo

    Original Tip Date: Feb 27, 2002

    Create cells by keyin
     
    To create a graphic cell, ensure you've defined the origin and keyin: CC=Cell_Name,Description
    For example: CC=GVAL,GATE VALVE

    To create a point cell, change the keyin to read: CC=Cell_Name,Description,P
    For example: CC=GVAL,GATE VALVE,P
