Various questions - Family - Ground Grid - Part Database

Family

  • Is there a way that a child of a family can repeat on another page? For example, if I want to repeat a cable by my own action.

Logo

  • ¿Can several logos be placed in a drawing in the tittle block? And the other question is whether these logos can directly be JPEG files? I had the problem that when importing a logo it looks pixelated and transparent, I don't know if the method I used was the right one.

Project

  • Can I have a project connected to another project? The question is related to electrical diagrams. That is, that the functions of cross-referencing and parent-child relationships are maintained between projects.

Graphic Plan

  • Is there a way to make the graphic plan in Excel format?

Panel Design

  • Is there a way for the amount of cable duct to appear in millimeters in the output reports? When I use the panduit tools, the quantities of cable duct are generated per unit, which ends up giving me an erroneous value in bom reports.

Parts Database

  • Is the ideal situation to work with a single parts database? Or could it be normal to work with several at once and change them in the parts database manager?

Grounding Grid

  • How can I place a 3D element as an X or T joint of the grounding grid, and that recognizes its correct orientation at each point?
  • Is there a way for the grounding grid and its connections to be visualized in 3D?

Compatibility

  • What is the compatibility between software versions? I know that when from a newer version we try to open a file from an older version, it can be done by an update, but if from an older version we want to open a file made from a newer version of the software, can we?

  • Hi Damian,

    Yes, you can repeat the same Cable on another page by selecting Add new Sub ID in the device properties of the cable symbol. But can you specify the reason for this requirement/workflow?

    For importing image Logo files you can follow the steps in below Wiki Link. Let me know if you face any concerns while placing multiple logos.

    No, the Cross-Reference and Parent Child relationship cannot be maintained between multiple projects. Can you give an example of a scenario where this is required?

    Have you tried using Terminal Reports for Generating Excel, these can be customized as your requirement. 

    Graphic Plan

    Ideally it is recommendation is to have a single Parts Database associated depending on your configuration variables if it is using WorkSpace/WorkSet Parts Database. You can have multiple different Part database associated with different workspace's or worksets as per your requirement.

    If the Database Version of the older and new version of Substation are same then this is supported(not recommended as the newer versions might have some BUG/Enhancements implemented).

    Above are answers to some of your questions.

  • Hi Satish!

    Thanks for your prompt response, I answer your questions:

    Yes, you can repeat the same Cable on another page by selecting Add new Sub ID in the device properties of the cable symbol. But can you specify the reason for this requirement/workflow? 

    There are different types of electrical diagrams that sometimes repeat this information, and more, taking into account that they are electrical diagrams of old plans. for example, a part of the functionality may appear in an electrical interlock schematic and also in an electrical schematic of the circuit breaker functionality. in that case information is repeated, but since autocad is used, surely the drawing or standard formats must be changed with promis.e.

    No, the Cross-Reference and Parent Child relationship cannot be maintained between multiple projects. Can you give an example of a scenario where this is required?  

    To encode and view using folders, in the project manager view. Have the project sorted by nesting.

    Thanks & Regards,
