KODE OS now provides an innovative tool for creating System drawings with ease and efficiency. With this feature, users can effortlessly design intricate system graphics tailored to their needs.

• Simplified System Schematics

• Drag-and-Drop Library: Access a comprehensive library of pre-made drawings representing common system components like pipes, valves, pumps and more. Simply drag and drop these Elements from the Basics menu onto your workspace to build your schematic.

• Modular Components: Each drawing represents a single component, allowing for easy customization and arrangement.

• Visualize Your System: Build your system layout by dragging and dropping components to create a clear and concise representation.

• Enhanced Usability

• Grouping Functionality: Group related components together for better organization and management of complex drawings.

• Additional Options: Explore further options designed to improve your workflow and make system drawing a breeze.

Besides this, you can also make edits using an existing System Graphic file similar to how it is
done for  Device Graphics.

Drawing a System Graphic

To draw a System using the KODE OS Graphics module, you can follow one of two paths, as is the
case for Area and Device graphics.

• You can simply go directly to the Graphics module from the main left side menu bar.  Select “Graphic Tool” and then select “New System Graphic”.
  

• or once you are in the device details you can click “Graphic View” on the lower right side of the screen and then click the “Create New” button.
  

• Both paths will bring you to the main dialog where the KODE platform asks you for the System Name 

• (If you followed the first approach, you will need to select a System

•  If you followed the second approach, the System will be assigned automatically since you went there from the System record.
  

• To continue assembling your System graphic, navigate to the “Basics” pane and under the “Uploads” section you will find different component parts already included within Graphic Tool which can be used to draw the System:
  

• Simply choose the part, then drag and drop it on the work area.
  

• While the part is selected you can resize it and also rotate it according to your needs.

• Continue placing and resizing components to assemble an accurate representation of your System.
  

• As components are placed and sized on the work area, you can select different elements and group them by right clicking with the mouse to create a sub-assembly in the graphic.  This group can then be moved and rotated more easily and in a more organized way.

Editing and adding points to the System Graphic

After you finish drawing a System Graphic (or choose one available),  you can add different Markers
and Icons to it for a better monitoring and control of the System directly from the graphic view.

• To do this, simply choose a System and open it with the “Graphic Tool”.
  

• From the Devices tab of the left side menu, just like when working with Device Graphics, simply drag and drop the desired Points to the corresponding place on the System Graphic.

• Customize the style and behavior per your needs.
