If wiring jobs are managed via QR codes in your company, EPLAN Smart Wiring provides the possibility to automatically open working directories or projects with a scanner. To do so, use the QR code symbol in the Open project dialog.
Preconditions
- The design department has sent you the QR code via e-mail or stored it in your job folder.
- The QR code contains the path to a specific working directory or its subdirectory in which project files are stored.
- Or the QR code contains a path to a specific project file, which is stored in the working directory or its subdirectory.
- You have a scanner which is connected via an USB interface to your computer or tablet.
Procedure
- In EPLAN Smart Wiring select the menu item Project > Open project.
- In the header line of the Open project dialog, click or tap the symbol.
- Take the scanner and hold it on the barcode.
- Start the scan procedure by clicking the [OK] button in the Scanning QR code dialog.
- The directory contained in the QR code or the coded project file is opened directly.
Note
If the project stored in the QR code is a project that has already been edited, the Continue project dialog is opened after scanning. You then have to manually select the project instance.
