Change location

Contextual menu of a drawing: Change location

 

The Change location command works across multiple drawings.

 

Drawing properties: Location

 

Each drawing is associated with a location. This location is defined when the drawing is created. By default, the location is the one associated with the book.

 

When this command is selected, the location selection dialog box opens, allowing you to select the desired location.

 

The components initially associated with the drawing's original location can be associated with the new location. A dialog box opens allowing you to select the desired options.

 

Change component location: Components with the same location as the drawing are automatically associated with the new location. If the component was drawn on several drawings, all symbols representing the component are associated with the new location (even if the drawings are not affected by the change of location). For terminal strips, only the location of the terminals is changed. The terminal strips are attached to remain in their initial location.

Change drawing location only: The drawing itself is associated with the new location, and no changes are made to the content of the drawing.

Cancel: Cancels the current command. No changes are made to the drawing and its content.
