Finding Your Way Around

Visual Cues

This document contains many visual cues to help you understand the meaning of certainwords or phrases. The use of different fonts for different types of information allows you to

scan the document for key concepts or commands. Symbols help abbreviate and identify

commonly used words, phrases, or groups of related information.

Typefaces

Italic Indicates a system response, which is an explanation of what the software is

doing. For example,

The text is placed in the viewing plane.

Bold Indicates a command name, parameter name, or dialog box title. Command

paths are shown using an arrow between command names. For example,

ChooseFile>Opento load a new file.

Sans serif Indicates a system prompt or message, which requires an action be taken by

the user. For example,

Select first segment of alignment

Bold Typewriter

Indicates what you should literally type in. For example,

Key in original.datto load the ASCII file.

Normal Typewriter

Indicates an actual file or directory name. For example,

The ASCII report is stored in thelayout.rptfile.

ix

Symbols

This document uses the following symbols to represent mouse buttons and to identify special

information:

Command button

Data button (usually the left mouse button) Reset/reject button (usually the right mouse button)

Tentative button (usually the center mouse button)

Note Important supplemental information.

Warning Critical information that could cause the loss of data if not followed.

Technical tip or information provides information on what the software is

doing or how it processes information.

Map or path shows you how to get to a specific command or form.

More information indicates there is additional or related information.

Need a hint used with activities and labs, provides a tip or hint for doing the

exercises.

Keyboard Conventions

The following list outlines the abbreviations this document uses for keyboard keys and

describes how to use them in combination. You can make some menu selections through the

use of keyboard accelerators, which map menu selections to key combinations.

ALT Alternate key

CTRL Control key

DEL Delete keyENTER Enter key

ESC Escape key

CTRL+z To hold down the Control key and press Z.

ESC,k To press the Escape key, then K.

Terminology

Click To use a mouse or key combination to pick an item that begins an

action. For example,

ClickApplyto save the changes.

Select To mark an item by highlighting it with key combinations or by picking

it with your cursor. Selecting doesnotinitiate an action. After

selecting an item, youclickthe action you want to affect the item. For

example,

Select the fileoriginal.dat from the list box, then clickDeleteto

remove it from the directory.

In addition, you wouldselectitems to define parameters, such as

selecting toggle buttons. This also applies to selecting graphic

elements from the design file. For example,

Select the line string to define the graphic template.

Tentative-select To place a tentative point on an existing graphic element in a design

file. If you are using the CLIX operating system, you tentative-select

by double-clicking with a mouse or pressing on a hand-held

cursor. If you are using the Windows NT operating system, you

tentative-select by pressing a left-button, right-button chord.

Double-click To select and execute a command by clicking the mouse or hand-held

cursor button twice in rapid succession. This term implies that you are

clicking the data button () as part of a menu or dialog box action.

For example,

Double-click on the fileoriginal.dat to load it into the new surface.

Drag To press and hold the data button () while moving the mouse or

hand-held cursor.

Type To key a character string into a text box.

Key in To type in data and press ENTER to enter the data and execute the

default action.

In a dialog box, pressing TAB after keying in data will

enter the data and move the cursor to the next field.

Introduction________________

1. Introduction

EE Raceway allows you to design, modify, and model electrical raceway

systems in a three-dimensional environment.

EE Raceway serves a variety of general purposes, including the following:

Model building Uses either a centerline or a three-line component

graphic to build a three-dimensional raceway model.

Interference detection Creates the raceway component interference

envelope files for input to the PDS interference detection task.

Material takeoff Extracts a list of material required to construct a

raceway model.

You can also use EE Raceway models as background drawings for designs

created in other PDS facility design disciplines.

environment. Palettes are groups of commands that are accessible from themenus on the MicroStation command window. This book presents the

palettes in the order that they are accessible if you look at each menu going

from left to right across the MicroStation command window. Next to each

icon is the name of the form or command it represents. You should become

familiar with the name and functionality of each command on each palette.

Refer to the EE Raceway Modeling Reference Guidefor

detailed descriptions of the palette icons and the

functionality they control.

Summary

The EE project environment controls project creation and manipulation. Asingle project can include design files from multiple EE applications.

The EE Raceway environment controls design file creation and

manipulation. You will enter the graphics environment directly from the

EE Raceway environment.

Both interfaces help you organize and maintain all your design work.

matrix of systems and one-line types and the standard graphic

symbology assigned to each system (all one-line types within a

system are originally assigned the same symbology).

When you enter a new design file, all symbology is taken from the

system defaults. Therefore, to make any changes in symbology, you

must first use this command to specify the systems and one-line types

that can be changed. You can specify the one-line types for which to

change the standard symbology by setting them to overridemode. In

cases where you do not specify overrides for the one-line types within

a system, those one-line types will use a system default.

2. Override the control systems default symbology settings for tray by

Title Blocks

Title blocks are no longer the default in raceway model design files

(actually they are hidden from view). However, you can still use a title

block by doing one of the following:

Include in the users .EErc file a line: "unset RWAY_TBLK"

Put a "#" at the start of the line "export RWAY_TBLK=mlock" in the

file /usr#/ip32/eenuc/.EErc.

The title block cell is RWTBLK. The model lock cell is MLOCK. The

default key for the title block cell is RWAYTTL which should be the same

for any user created title block cell.

Accompanying the product is a default cell library found in

/usr#/ip32/eerway/dgn/rway.cel. To attach the delivered EE Raceway cell

library to the design file, key in rc=rway.cel

Supplementary Information________________


Summary

In a new design file, you must define systems and one-line types from thedatabase before performing any other tasks. You should also set the basic

design parameters and symbology settings before using other EE Raceway

commands. It is recommended practice to place a title block in the design

after you have performed the basic setups (any of theSetupcommands), in

order to lock the parameters you have defined.

Before routing and manipulating raceways, you should set an active one-

line type (and parameters), active systems, propagation parameters, and so

forth.

Summary

Precision input is the tool you use to enter points and identify elements inthe raceway design file. Therefore, you must be familiar with the precision

input form and all its options before you can route and manipulate raceway

elements.

You will use precision input not only to route one-lines, but to modify them

as well. Placing manual fittings in the model also requires precision input.
