If you are working with a worksheet created in Cap, two types can be available:
An associated-visual worksheet (associated.visual.sp4) synchronizes all drawing information
between Worksheet and Cap with limited user interaction by prompting for an
update when required.
A visual-only worksheet (visual.sp4) pushes finish and room information (Visual Impression)
to the drawing when you open or switch to Cap and you use Update against worksheet.
When you open a worksheet, note that:
-
The associated worksheet has the same name as the drawing it was created from with the extension (.associated.visual.sp4) A visual worksheet can have a different name (.visual.sp4.)
-
You can open an associated-visual drawing by clicking
on the Worksheet toolbar. This command saves the worksheet and automatically updates the associated drawing before opening it.
-
You can visualize products in parts (scenes) or in whole (entire design) in Visual Impression, by clicking
-
If you no longer want this worksheet to be associated to the CAP Drawing, use the Save As command and save as a different file type.
-
If you add an item, the Unplanned icon appears in the first column (Item # column). When you update the drawing in Cap, this unplanned item is saved in the drawing's Non-plan item list (NPIL).
-
The Qty value is the sum of non-planned and planned quantities. To view non-planned and planned values, activate the Non-plan Ct and Plan Ct columns.
In the example below, there are no non-plan quantities of the first item in the worksheet.
If you change the Qty, the non-Plan Ct value changes accordingly. Notice that the Unplanned icon also appears in the first column.
If you enter a value in Qty that is less than Plan Ct, Worksheet alerts you and resets the value back to the planned quantity. -
You cannot edit the Mfg, Alt Mfg, Cat and Part Number
-
You cannot split items
-
When deleting an item, you will see a warning message
-
You will not be able to flatten outline levels and standards
-
If you have locks in a worksheet, they will be removed when you save the worksheet
-
When you cut or copy an item then paste it, that item will be considered as a non-plan item when you update the drawing against the associated worksheet
-
You can convert planned items to specials by checking the Special column
-
If you update preview images, your images will still be there even if you update the worksheet from Cap later on.
-
Standards created in Worksheet are considered as non-planned. When you update the drawing in Cap, the Standard will be listed in the Non-plan item list.
-
Outline levels created in Worksheet cannot be tied to a Cap bound within the associated drawing. As such, you cannot insert outline levels in an associated worksheet.
