How to Navigate to a Component

General

Many EDS reports contain a component name field (TAGNAME, PNLNO, CABLENAME, etc.). From any report that contains a component name field you can navigate to the CAD drawing that contains the component or to the component's record in Instrument Manager/Cable Scheduler.

Procedure

1. Check to see if the database contains a component name field.

2. Press CTRL+R or select Navigate to Component from the Context Menu or Edit Menu.

   • NOTE: If you are navigating to the component directly from the Warnings DBF then the component name or drawing is obtained from the record in the report that has the warning.

   • If you are trying to navigate to a conductor that has no specified name, then you will be offered to navigate to its termination(s).

3. The Cross Reference Query Dialog will appear listing all of the references of the component from all the drawings in the Project.

4. Select the reference that you want to navigate to and:

   • Click on Navigate to to navigate to the CAD drawing that contains the component.

   • Click on Show in Project Database to navigate to the component in Instrument Manager/Cable Scheduler.
