Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD
Smart Client DWG Editor

Restrict Grid Command

Command: AFM_RESTRICTGRID

Purpose: Restricts the ARCHIBUS grid to show just the records associated with the selected drawing entities.

Use this command to see the corresponding records to the asset symbols that you select. To use this command:

  1. In ARCHIBUS Smart Client, load a grid view displaying the asset table for the items you want to select.

    For example. select the Space Planning & Management/Space Inventory & Performance/Room Inventory/Draw Rooms task to select room asset symbols.

  2. In the ARCHIBUS Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD or the DWG Editor, load the drawing and run the ARCHIBUS/Asset Graphic/Restrict Grid command from the Ribbon. The command will prompt you to select asset symbols. Select a set of asset symbols of the same type, such as a set of room asset symbols.
  3. Task-switch to ARCHIBUS Smart Client. The grid window will display just those records attached to the asset symbols that you selected in step 2.
  4. In ARCHIBUS Smart Client, clear this restriction by selecting Filter/Clear from the Ribbon.

Note: A handy way to see connected asset symbols and records is to click the View / Arrange command from the Ribbon in the Smart Client. This will display your CAD tool and ARCHIBUS applications side-by-side so that you can clearly see linked asset symbols and records when you select them.
