Visio Integration
Single-line System LayoutsD-Tools Product Library has .jpg images associated with them that can be used, or you can also add your own .jpg images to the products in your catalog. Simply drag and drop products from your project file onto the drawing surface.
Plan ViewsClearly communicate to installers where the equipment will be placed in a room or building. When importing a .dwg file into Visio, simply place equipment from the D-Tools project file onto the drawing surface. You can also import AutoCAD files into Visio and layer your equipment over the plan view, or create a plan view drawing natively in Visio.
Rack ElevationsShow clients what the finished system will look like from a point of view perspective. This is particularly useful for rack drawings and showcasing higher-end systems with custom cabinetry, or communicating how the system will fit into a particular room.
SchematicsEnsure that all the components are correctly connected by your installers, and gives the customer confidence that the system will work as promised. From this drawing, detailed installation reports can be generated for the entire project, such as wire schedules, wire checklists, and wire labels.
AutoCAD Integration
Plan ViewsCAD plan view shapes in System Integrator have unique capabilities, enabling you to assign shapes to specific categories or sub-categories, as well as offer control for specific variations by utilizing the Shape Data UI. The Plan Icon shape automatically configures itself based on the shape choices selected by the user.
