How do I…

Switch a rack and an enclosure

Make a rack an in-wall enclosure, or an enclosure a rack, keeping everything that makes it the rack or panel it was.

Where to find it: select the rack or enclosure › Properties › Device › Type

1. Select the rack or the in-wall enclosure on the drawing.
2. In Properties › Device, choose Type: Rack or Enclosure.

It becomes the other in one undo step and stays the same rack or panel: main if it was, its name and capacity, the icons sent to it and every cable run to it, its backbone cables both ways, its own risers and their letters, its conduits and where its cable card sits. A name still its kind's, such as Main rack, takes the new kind's.

Its Number becomes the other type's, such as R-1 to ENC-1, and every list, card and riser follows. The Cable IDs of cables that run to it are the icons' own and stay; its own cables take its new Number, and IDs already issued for them are retired, as Replace does (change device details). As with any Replace, two people changing it at once can clash.
