Place typicals

To place a saved typical choose Draw, Typical from the menu bar. The Place Typical dialog appears.



Note: The name of the last typical that you saved appears in the dialog. Click the Browse button to find other typicals.

Click on the Place button. An outline of the typical appears, which is attached to the point you set as the Origin Point. To rotate the typical, use the arrow keys on the keyboard. The large X at the bottom left of the typical is a visual aid to help when you rotate the typical.

Position the typical on screen where you want to place it then click to set it in the drawing.

To snap the typical to an existing symbol, place the cursor near that point and right-click. If you make a mistake, click the Undo icon to erase the typical and try again.



Note: The cursor is the only active snapping point in the typical before you place it. Once placed, all the snapping points become active.

If there are any overlapping panels, the Highlighted Overlapping Panel(s) dialog appears. If you click Delete Overlapping Panels, any duplicate, overlapped panels will be removed.
