The drawing
Upload a floor plan, place devices, organise sheets and keep everything numbered.
Opening a project shows its plan: the sheets side by side in Default View, with named views in rows below. These are different visibility settings for the same drawing; moving a device in one row moves it in every view. There are panels on both edges and a toolbar at the bottom. The drawing screen maps every control, and zoom and move around a drawing shows how to get about with a mouse, a trackpad or a finger.
A typical first drawing
- Upload a blueprint of the floor plan.
- Set the scale so aims and spans are true to size.
- Change the paper size to the size you will print.
- Place devices from the Palette, then change their details.
- Add sheets for more floors.
- Connect devices into zones, or build a whole surround system in one step.
- Set up head ends, the racks and panels every cable goes to, then check each icon's cables.
- Add annotations for notes to the crew, place the compass for north and add a scale bar. Measure a distance whenever you need one.
Keeping track
Every device gets a number, counted in the equipment list under Equipment. Mark progress with work status and save filtered pages as views.
Saving
Changes save on this device at once and then sync; the icon in the header shows which. Save keeps a version. See saving and sync.
Next: members and live collaboration.
