User Guide
The Schematic Explorer can be used to navigate in the Schematic World in the database. If the Schematic Explorer is not visible, it can be displayed using the View Tab > Explorers > Schematic Explorer command in the main application menu.
In this explorer you can see the primary Schematic Group hierarchy (refer to Groups in Chapter Application Setup). Below each schematic group, the items are further sub-grouped by Folders. Folders do not exist in the database, they are only a way to display items of the same type, together, and provide a better navigation and overview.
Above the navigation tree is a Filter checkbox as well as a dropdown list where predefined filters can be selected. If the Filter checkbox is checked, the selected filter will be applied to the explorer tree. Currently there are tree filters available, one for each discipline (Piping, HVAC, Electrical).

Note:
|
The Schematic Explorer shows the entire contents of the database and not only the current drawing. Operations done through the explorer such as Rename etc. will be automatically updated in any currently open diagram drawing, but for any drawings that would be affected by the change, but are not open in the current session for the moment, a manual Refresh will have to be applied later.
