Schindler Integration Graphics Engineering

An object selected in System Browser, is displayed graphically with a graphic template, for example, an elevator; graphics engineering is not required in this case. You can, however, place the corresponding objects on a floor plan or on its own graphics page.

NOTE:
When changing the Start page, the Start viewport must be re-saved.

Apply Graphic References

A symbol reference on the Start page must be created for each available view in System Browser.

    NOTE: The last view is saved for each user when exiting Desigo CC. This view is open on the top node of System Browser when logging on again to Desigo CC.
    The reference to the graphics page must be added one time for each view since no one knows the view from which the user exits Desigo CC.
