There are a variety of ways to add a compatible unit (CU) to an open design.
- Send to Design: Right-click a CU on the CUs tab or a feature on the Features tab and select Send to Design. The CU or feature is sent to the Design tab, but it does not have spatial representation on the map (see symbology in Figure 1). To place it, click the GU on the Design tab and click a location on the map.
- Send to Design: You may use the same Send to Design tool on a feature or CU that already exists on the map. Select the CU or feature, right-click it on the Selection tab of the Attribute Editor, and select Send to Design. This feature does have spatial representation on the map (see symbology in Figure 1). Users cannot add non-Designer features to the design. If you select a non-Designer feature, it will not be added. If you select multiple features, only the Designer features will be added. Designer features have the DesignerId field on their feature class. They have been converted to a Designer feature class using the ArcFM Feature Converter tool in ArcCatalog.
- Work Function Tool: This tool allows you to select a feature on the map and change its work function to denote a Remove, Replace, or Upgrade in the selected equipment. This tool may result in a GU with multiple CUs assigned (with different work functions).
- Copy/Paste: You can right-click a CU on the CUs tab and select Copy, then right-click the design node on the Design tab and select Paste to copy the CU to the Design tab. Note that this CU does not have spatial representation (see symbology in Figure 1) and must be placed on the map.
- Drag/Drop: You can drag a CU from the CUs tab and drop it onto the Design tab. Note that this CU does not have spatial representation (see symbology in Figure 1) and must be placed on the map.
