Using a Predefined Subtype during Equipment Definition

You can associate a subtype filter to a resource table and then choose the subtype in a pre-defined list to apply it on an equipment during its creation. For this, you need to define this list in an Excel file and expose it as a resource in the Data Setup.

Before you begin:
  • In the Data Setup app, select the resource table called Physical Equipment Subtype in the Equipment Resources resource set.
  • To assign a resource to the resource table, select a .xls file (SampleBranchSheet_A, SampleBranchSheet_B for example) containing the branch definition parameters.
  • Associate the resource table to a collaborative space.
  1. Click 3D Modeling Apps and select the Electrical 3D Part Design app.
  2. Create a product and click Equipment from the Device section of the action bar.
    The Equipment Definition dialog box appears. The Subtype field now contains a list of the values suitable for equipment as defined in the resource.
