Dialog call:You have installed the hose line configurator as an add-on variant of EPLAN Fluid. You have opened a project in EPLAN Fluid and have marked hose lines on a fluid schematic page. Select the command Hose lines. (To this purpose you first have to Customize the ribbon and then assign the desired command to a user-defined command group.)
This dialog contains an overview in table form of the read-in or edited hose line data.
The following is possible:
- You can use this dialog to create new hose lines. In addition you can copy the technical data of a hose line already configured and assign it to a newly created hose line.
- It is possible to mark several table cells at the same time and thus configure several hose lines simultaneously in the editing dialog.
- In addition it is possible to import hose line data from other applications, for example Excel, and to store the changed data back in an exchange file or to export it.
- You can furthermore use the dialog to call up the settings for the hose line configurator.
Overview of the main dialog elements:
Table:
The table displays the configuration data of the hose lines. These consist of the technical, identification-specific and part-specific information including the type code. The displayed data of a hose line can be edited by using the popup menu or by double-clicking a table row. The table furthermore offers the possibility to modify several marked hose lines simultaneously (block editing).
