Desigo CC graphics are built using smart objects that know how they are used
and how to represent themselves graphically. Smart objects let you create
graphics by dragging objects onto a page, without manually binding an object to
graphical symbols.
The Graphics application allows you to create, view, store, and command large
graphics representing equipment, floors, buildings, facilities, and entire
campuses. These graphical representations can contain dynamic elements to
represent devices or values you want to monitor or control. The Graphics
application consists of:
● Graphics Viewer
● Graphics Editor
● Graphics Library Browser
The Graphics Viewer lets you view the graphics representing your facility or
equipment. You can change the current state of an object’s properties from a
graphic. You can filter your view of a graphic by discipline, section, or you can
zoom in and out for greater detail or for a birds-eye overview.
The Graphics Editor lets you create dynamic graphical representations of your
plants, buildings or equipment. You can test and simulate your dynamic
graphics before going online with them.
See
Desigo CC Graphics Editor (A6V10415487).
The Graphics Library Browser lets you toggle between a view that displays all
the available symbols and graphic template objects in your project libraries.
You can import AutoCAD drawings and select and manipulate the layers of the
AutoCAD drawings during and after the import process.
