About Importing Electrical Data
  1. From the Import / Export section of the action bar, click Manage Links .
    The list of external devices appears in the External Device List dialog box.
  2. In the External Device List, select a device, for example the equipment.

    The Unlink button is activated only if the status of the selected device is linked or partially linked.

    Important: This command affects the children of the selected device and removes links between all device children and corresponding external electrical data as well.
  3. Click Unlink.
    The external device list is updated. In our example, since you unlinked the equipment, the links between the connector and pins, and the corresponding external data are also removed.

    The 3D equipment is left in the cavity but the link is broken. The device is identified as not reconciled in the tree.

    Note: The cavity of the equipment that was unlinked now shows in green: you can place another device in this cavity.

  4. Click Close when you are done.
