Treesoft Cad Distribution Plan Wizard

In Treesoft CAD, you work on a project basis. After selecting an existing project or creating a new one, the software automatically saves all related drawing files, such as electrical installation plans, distribution plans, parts lists, etc., in the corresponding project directory.

• Open the project and switch to the CAD tab in the document window. If you have just created the project, double-click on “Create CAD document directory.”
• To create a new distribution plan, double-click to open the Distribution Plan Wizard and create a new distribution plan configuration.

After starting the distribution plan wizard, you will see the distribution plan editor at the bottom of the screen. This editor provides you with powerful functions for creating and editing distribution plan configurations, such as creating new subprojects.

The distribution plan editor inserts current paths according to the settings made for the selected sub-distribution and automatically increments the circuit and position numbers of the individual outputs.

The selection determines the structure and connection of the individual outlets. The settings you make always refer to the outlet marked in the list.

The distribution plan wizard allows you to save the configuration made in the distribution plan editor and reload it at a later time. The software saves the configuration in the corresponding project directory.

Based on the configuration created in the distribution plan editor, the distribution plan wizard creates the corresponding distribution plan in either single-pole or all-pole view. The creation of distribution plans can be customized to your operational requirements using a wide range of settings.

To create the distribution plan, click the “Generate” button in the distribution plan editor. The software switches from the distribution plan wizard to the circuit diagram wizard and creates the distribution plan based on the distribution plan configuration you have made. In the circuit diagram wizard, you can also manually edit and/or supplement the automatically generated distribution plan if necessary.

The distribution plan wizard can be reopened either directly via the wizard selection ([F3] key) or via the “Main circuits” menu using the “Edit distribution plans” command.

Open the Distribution Plan Wizard and call up the Distribution Plan Editor. In the Options dialog box, click the “Displays” button. Here you can adjust the display of the current paths accordingly and switch between single-pole and all-pole (i.e., resolved) displays.

Once you have changed the display, the distribution plan must be regenerated. To create a new file, select the “New file” option and enter a short descriptive text in the Comment field.

When creating a distribution plan manually using drawings, editing tasks such as adding another outlet require a considerable amount of work. However, this is easy to do with the distribution plan wizard.

Because the distribution plan is edited in list form, it is very easy and quick to insert a departure, for example. The subsequent departures are automatically “moved” and the distribution plan is adjusted accordingly. When the distribution plan is subsequently regenerated, the distribution plan wizard automatically applies the changes made. It really couldn’t be any easier!

Of course, you can also manually edit, supplement, and evaluate the distribution plan automatically generated by the distribution plan wizard. This is done in the circuit diagram wizard. Please note, however, that any manual changes and additions made to a distribution plan would be lost if you overwrite the existing file when regenerating it using the Distribution Plan Wizard. By default, however, the software always creates a new file, for example vtpa1002.zng, when creating a distribution plan.
