In this step, it is possible to specify a default catalogue search filter for the shape. If this is done, the filter will be applied in subsequent catalogue search operations using the Manual Catalogue Selection (refer to
Manual Component Selection in Chapter Working with Diagrams). This can for instance be used in a way that for a cable shape, a filter is referred that includes searching in the correct category for cables. When the user will subsequently select such a cable shape in the drawing and go to the catalogue search window, it will automatically apply the pre-defined filter so only relevant cable catalogue items will be shown.
Default filters for each type of item can be specified in Diagrams Options by using the
Catalogue search settings > Default filters for non-pipeline elements settings. If these should be used, the
Use filter from Diagrams default settings should be checked. Otherwise a specific filter for the particular shape can be specified in the
Default catalogue search filter textbox.
When step 5 has been completed and the
Finish command has been given, the shape(s) will be added to the selected stencil. The user will also be prompted if he/she wants to make a
Save Work or not. The reason for this is that if the application subsequently will be closed without any Save Work command being issued, the imported shapes will be lost. So if the user clicks
NO, then he/she will have to remember to perform a
SaveWork at a later time.
