计算结果 - 在InstalSystem 程序中,the entire project may have a "calculated" status or a "not calculated" status. First calculation run changes the project status into "calculated". Calculations have an effect on the information displayed in many windows of the application. Importantly, changes made in data after first calculations do not cause deletion of results, results of the last calculations are available. An appropriate message warns of such status of the project. Results in the Label are crossed out if the project has changed. The most important result components:
Tables and lists available in the Calculation results window. 文件:Calculation-results.png27. Calculation results
Components displayed in the project drawing in the Graphical edit window, for instance results displayed in component labels or graphical components drawn or modified during automatic edit operations.
Information available after completing calculations, but not displayed permanently, for instance detailed results available in Graphical edit in Hints appearing in the case of most components when cursor is placed over it. 文件:Pipe-run-results-hint.png28. Pipe-run hint
Detailed information on calculations and results in the context of the various types of systems is given in the descriptions of software applications - see:SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS
Preparation of drawings for export/printing
After making all the required changes to the project and completing calculations, project components that complement information provided in printouts can be entered into the project. These components have an informative nature, and they do not affect calculations. It is advisable to place them in the project at this stage only, as the iterative work with the project at the earlier stages may require modification also in this respect. Including them at the final stage of work may prove most efficient. Detailed information on the available types of components in the context of the various types of installations is given in the descriptions of software applications - see:SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS.
Example Component labels accessible through Main tool bar in the Labels and graphics section. A label is placed by selecting the appropriate icon in the toolbar and clicking the component to which the label is to be assigned. Upon marking in the drawing a component with a label, the label style can be selected in the Data table. 29. Component label The user can configure the label style - see section 5 Component appearance configuration and editing parameters configuration in General data. The user can create and save his/her own label styles of various configuration.
Export/print results and drawings
Result tables and drawings can readily be printed or exported in one of the many available formats.
Print tables and lists - to print or export it is necessary to open the Printouts window. The tree displayed on the left side shows the available predefined printout compositions. The number and types of predefined proposals depend on the software version used. A composition can be selected and its content viewed. Then it is only necessary to select Print to obtain a printout or Save and, after selecting the target file format, export the results to this format. It is also possible to create and save user-defined printout compositions. These compositions, in addition to the predefined compositions, are then also available in other projects. 30. Print tables and lists
Print drawings - drawings are also printed and exported using the Printouts window. The tree displayed on the left side, below the table printout compositions, shows the graphical printouts defined for the project. The user can define many different layouts of graphical printout. For the defined layout, printing can be effected a number of times, e.g. after every project modification. The range of pages, its setup, style and other parameters are saved. This enables defining various printouts, e.g. one for exporting to a PDF file, another for sending to a printer, yet another for sending to a plotter. 31. Print drawings To set up a graphical printout layout it is necessary to:
Select Printouts tab in the Graphical editor window
At Insetr page layout tool is available in the Printout and export section of the toolbar. This tool enables placing a Printout pages component in the drawing. To each Printout pages component placed in the drawing corresponds a separate graphical printout item in the Printouts window
The Printout pages component can be configured in the data table - a name should be assigned to it, its size, page layout and other style components can be modified
In the graphical edit area the outline of this component can be dragged by the mouse to an appropriate location in the project drawing. Its size can also be changed by dragging one of the corners, whereas the size is always a multiple of full pages. This way the area of the project to be printed can be marked. 32.
