Connection Info (Iso)

HiCAD saves information about individual joints between two connections to an auxiliary (not visible) connection part. This part contains BOM data:

The database ID referring to a part containing the connection definition. The part type of this record is "Connection".
The connection item number.
The place where the connection was constructed (factory or construction site).

The following functions are available:

	Show/Change connection info
	Create connection info
	Delete connection info

The removal and re-creation of connection information is only possible in the layout plan, but not in the isometry!

Show/Change connection info

Isometry > Settings > Show/Change connection info

Plant Engineering > Isometry > Auto > Show/change connection info

If no pipeline is active, use the graphic cursor to identify a part in the pipeline you want to process. When HiCAD asks for confirmation, respond with Yes.

This function enables you to check or change connection data on individual connection points interactively. An alteration is necessary if individual connections do not correspond to the predefined settings.

Use the graphic cursor to identify the connection point you want to process. HiCAD displays the Connection dialogue box.The area next to the Place of construction area shows whether 1 or 2 connections are set on the identified point. If two connections exist, HiCAD checks whether they match.

Select Info to display attributes belonging to the currently assigned type. Pick the Select new option to select a different type. You can also change the place of construction for the connection. Select OK to take over the changes, or Cancel to ignore them. You can now either select further connections or press the right mouse button to exit the function.
