consolidating plant symbols


SKB

Recommended Posts

I have been trying to create a template file with one plant catalog containing plants from several drawing files. I have used the V9 plant drawing update utility but I can not seem to add other plants to the data base. I tried copying and pasting the plants into the drawing but they do not update the data base. I am trying to avoid manually entering the additional data.

OK. To make plant definitions show up in the Edit Plant Catalog command, move their symbol definitions to the folder called "~PlantCatalog". Any new 2D symbols that have come along for the ride should be moved to the "~2D_PSyms" folder and any new 3D symbols should similarly be moved to the "~3D_PSyms" folder. Then everything will show up in the EPC command.

All of these cryptically named folders can be found in the symbol folder called "System folder" in your document.
