Elements to be Dropped
There are three types of elements that can be dropped onto a drawing;
1.
None inline elements that can exist alone on a drawing (like Equipment, Sub-equipment, Actuators, Offline elements, Area etc.).
When a master shape is dropped from a stencil the currently selected database element will be linked to the Visio shape.
2.
Nozzles and Electrical Connections.
It is only possible to drop electrical connections and nozzles symbols if they are
dropped on the shapes of the owning elements, for example a nozzle can only be dropped on an Equipment shape.
3.
Inline elements.
It is possible to drop inline symbols and build segments. To achieve this parts of the segment has to be dropped one by one from the stencil and connected on the drawing by dropping them on the connecting parts, see figures below.
After connecting a shape with the unassigned item Current Element will automatically be set to the next unassigned element in the branch.
If one part of the segment is already on the drawing it will not be possible to continue with the same segment on another page or drawing. Elements have to be dropped one by one and have to be connected, or if it is a component to component connection they have to be dropped closely enough so that they can be auto connected.
When connecting a shape to a branch, arrive and leave will be automatically adjusted to the flow direction. If the shape is a one-way component, then it will be rotated according to the flow.
