Using Drag and Drop

You can easily move the electrical devices within the product structure using the drag and drop capability.

For more information about the standard drag and drop functionality, see Cutting, Copying and Pasting Objects.


Before you begin: Open a product containing devices and more than one electrical geometry.
  1. Select the electrical device from the tree.
    The electrical device is highlighted.
  2. Drag the selected electrical device.
  3. Place the electrical device at the desired node of the product structure and release the mouse.
    The electrical device is moved from one node to another node of the product structure.
  4. Click Update All .

Important:
  • The electrical links between the electrical branch geometries and the electrical devices remain connected after the drag and drop operation.
  • The distant link between a segment's end and an electrical device is lost during the drag and drop operation. You have to reconnect it manually.
  • The electrical link between a conductor and an electrical device is lost during drag and drop operation. You have to redefine the conductor specification manually.
