V415

Inserting Envelope





V415

Inserting Envelope

Use the Envelope button to draw an envelope around the inserted symbols.





V415

Inserting Envelope

The envelope is inserted in the drawing. It is also allocated a default component ID.

Change the component ID to 3.

Once the envelope is inserted, you can move its location by selecting and dragging it or

by stretching one of its sides.





V415

Creating Connections





V415


To connect the P port of component 3, with external port P1,

Click the Pressure line icon on the HyDraw menu bar.





V415


Click port P of component 5, then drag the envelope until it snaps to the envelope line.





V415


On releasing the mouse, the Port icon is inserted automatically on the envelope line and

the Pressure Line connection is created.

Notice, the Red connection square changes to a black dot on port P of component 5.

This change in color indicates that the connector is connected properly to the port.





V415


When the port is inserted, it is inserted with its name as “?” by default.

Double click “?” to change it.

The port is inserted with its attributes as blank.

Later, we will see how to fill these attributes automatically from the HyDraw Library.





V415


Pivot Point is designated by a green dot.

Move segments of the connection by dragging its pivot point to its new position.





V415


The External Port inserted on the envelope line remains attached to the envelope line.

When you drag the port to move it, it will only move along the envelope line.





V415


Insert the next connection.

Connect port 1 of component 4 to the

Pressure line. Click the Pressure line icon

on the HyDraw toolbar.

Click near port 1 of component 4, drag

the other end of the line to the Pressure

line. The cursor snaps to the Pressure

line.

When you release the mouse, you will

notice that the kink in the connection

automatically disappears when the

connection line is drawn.





V415


Connect port 2 of component 7 to port A

of component 5.

Then, select component 5 and drag it

such that the connection becomes

vertical.

Or

Use left or right keys on the keyboard to

move the object. Use the Shift key to

make finer movements.

The cursor shape changes in the

Connection Drawing mode.

Click the Pointer tool on the Visio toolbar

to return to the Normal command mode.





V415


To move the component ID balloon,

select the component and drag the

yellow pivot point to the desired location.

Note

If you do not see the yellow pivot point

on selecting the component, click the

Pointer tool and select the component

again.





V415


Complete the other connections in the drawing using the Pressure Line connection type.





V415


Change the Connection line type to Pilot by clicking the Pilot button, which is violet in

color.

Connect all the Pilot lines.





V415


Change the Connection line type to Tank by clicking the Tank button, which is blue in color.

Connect all the Tank lines.

Jumpers are drawn automatically when two connection lines cross each other.





V415






V415


Let us now complete the rest of the circuit.

Insert the symbol of the Tank from the Library menu.

Notice, the inserted Tank symbol has a balloon and a component ID allocated to it.

Ensure that these are not included in the Parts List.





V415


Select the Tank symbol, and click the Edit Properties icon.

The HyDraw Property Manager displays.

Uncheck the Include in Parts List check box.

The balloon and component ID disappears from the Tank symbol.





V415

Insert the rest of the components and create the appropriate connections to complete the

circuit diagram.






V415

In the completed circuit diagram, notice the External Port symbol.

Replace the Plug symbol by Plugged Plug Port symbol.






V415


Open the Library Explorer, and click on the External Port Library tab.

Select the plug to be replaced and check the Replace symbol check box.

Drag and drop the Plugged Port symbol over the existing port symbol in the drawing.

The symbol of the plug is replaced by a Plugged Port symbol.





V415


Now, assign model codes to all the inserted symbols.

Close HyDraw Library Explorer and open HyDraw Property Manager.

This allows you to maximize the drawing space.





V415






V415


Fetch Button

Let us start with the Check Valve, component 6.

To find and include the model code of the check valve, select the Check Valve and

click the Fetch button.





V415


The Fetch from Library dialog box

displays when the Fetch button is

clicked in the HyDraw Property

Manager.

To refine the search, select SUN

Hydraulics from the list of

manufacturers and click the Search

button again.

All SUN valves are displayed.





V415

Click the Search button.

All the Model Codes associated with

this Check valve are displayed.


You can also enter the full or partial

Model code to search.

Select the Model code and click OK.





V415

When you select the Model Code and click OK, the model code is transferred into the

selected symbol in the drawing.






V415

Let us now find the model code of the Direction Control valve using the design

requirements.

Since the valves require a minimum flow of 8 gpm and 3000 psi pressure, enter these as

design requirements.

This requirement is saved with the component.






V415

If the circuit designer wants to attach a special note to this valve, then you click the

Note icon and write a text note, which is saved with the component on clicking OK.






V415


The Fetch from Library dialog box displays on clicking Search in the HyDraw Property

Manager.

Notice, the design requirement values are pre-entered in the dialog box.

Click the Search button to find components, which meet this design criteria.





V415


Select the required model and click OK to transfer the values to the symbol in your

drawing.

The model data is attached to the component.





V415


Let us now attach an accessory, a spare seal kit to this Direction Control Valve.

Select the Direction Control Valve and click Fetch in the Accessories section.

The Fetch Accessories from Library dialog box displays.

Select Seal Kit as the component type.





V415


Select the Seal Kit you want to attach, then click Add.

You can add multiple accessories to any component.

Click OK to add the accessory to the selected component.





V415


The selected accessory is added to the Direction Control Valve.

You can expand the accessory data to view the complete model data of the accessory.

Change the item ID to 5A.





V415


For the manifold block represented by the envelope line, there are no model codes in the

library.

Model Code, Description, and Manufacturer can be entered in the HyDraw Property

Manager and saved with the symbol.





V415


To assign properties to the external ports, select the port and click the Fetch button in the

HyDraw Property Manager.

The Fetch Port from Library dialog box displays.

Select the port type and port size, then click OK to transfer the model data to the port

symbol in the drawing.





V415

The creation of a circuit drawing and allocation of model data of all components in the

circuit is now complete.

On the System tab of the HyDraw Property Manager, you can see all the components and

ports.

You can also assign accessories to the system in the Accessories section.






V415

Drawing Page Setup
