Comparison with sample solution

In order to compare the created model with the sample solution a preconfigured module is imported as the EOX file:

The sample solutions are available under <EEC installation folder>\install\Tutorial\.

Discipline Model of sample solution
Mechatronic Mechatronic.eox
Text ListOfComponents.eox
ECAD P8.eox
ProPanel ProPanel.eox
PLC Step7_Scope1.eox
Step7_Scope2.eox
Step7_Scope3.eox
Step7_Scope4.eox
Office Word.eox
GRAPH2D Graph2D.eox

Importing of an EOX file using the text discipline as an example:

  3. Select Model > Engineering Object Exchange Format (EOX Format).
  4. Press [Next >] to confirm.
