Diagrams : Working with Diagrams : Primary / Secondary Shapes : Creating Secondary Shapes by Changing Name
When a shape of one of the above listed types is dropped on to the drawing, this shape will automatically be considered a Primary shape. You can create a secondary shape representation of the database element by changing its name in the Shape Data window. This behaviour depends on the default settings, please refer to section Behaviour of Primary/Secondary Shapes.
Because of the database structure, inline elements are created differently from non-inline elements.
Click Yes and the shape will then refer to the existing item in the database, the name should be manually entered, and it will be made into a secondary shape.
If the user decides to create a secondary shape representation, he may be asked for confirmation of deletion from the database of the original item created when the shape was dropped (depending on the setting). Please see Behaviour of Primary/Secondary Shapes.

The system also enforces some restrictions on secondary shape handling for hierarchically subordinate items such as sub-equipment and electrical connection elements. For example, it is not allowed to have secondary electrical connection elements referring to a DB item owned by a different equipment item than the one that the electrical connection element is connected to on the current drawing. This is described in more detail under Behaviour of Primary/Secondary Shapes.
