Inserting a Block Diagram
You can insert any number of block diagrams in the
System file by inserting records for them under the top-level
Block Diagrams folder in the hierarchical tree structure of the
RBD Table. A block diagram can be deleted from the
System file by deleting its table record. For more information, see
Deleting a Table Row.
1. In the
RBD Table, select the
Block Diagrams folder or, to insert the block diagram in a child folder, select or insert that child folder. For more information, see
Inserting Diagram Folders.
2. To insert the diagram, do one of the following:
◦ Press Insert.
◦ Right-click and select New Block Diagram.
◦ Select > .
For
Identifier, the new diagram is assigned a unique identifier based on the setting for
RBD Block Diagram Identifier under
Identifier in the
System file properties. The default format is
Block DiagramX, where
X is the next available numeric value. For more information, see
Identifiers System File Properties.
You can repeat the above step multiple times to insert multiple diagrams. To reorder diagrams, you can use the standard Windows drag-and-drop technique.
For Identifier, you can modify the identifier assigned to the new diagram. Additionally, for Description, you can enter a description for the diagram.
3. In the
RBD Diagram pane, insert blocks, connectors, junctions, and labels as necessary. For more information, see the appropriate topics in
Block Diagram How-Tos.
RBD Diagram Library files and RBD Block Library files are described in
RBD Support Files. If you have inserted diagrams or blocks in these support files, you can insert them, as well as NPRD and EPRD parts, into the
System file using the
Library Browse window. For more information, see
