Access
To place entities of the current application area which have not yet been designed, select the Entities option of the Place submenu, from the Edit menu of the CDM.
Lists

List of entities of the current application area which can be placed on the CDM.
A filter located above the list can be used to limit the entities displayed.
Extended-selection list.
Buttons
Place (validation)
This button places on the CDM design the entities selected in the list, in turn.
The name of the entity being placed is displayed in the box. Just click the screen on the desired location to place the corresponding entity.
Design can also be performed with the corresponding creation tool of the palette.
The possible links with the other objects already designed are automatically traced.
As soon as the entity has been placed, it disappears from the list. The process goes on for each entity selected. When all have been placed, the dialog box is closed, provided that no entity remains in the list; otherwise, it remains open for further placing.
Cancel
This button stops placing entities and closes the dialog box.
It can be activated at any moment, even during the placing process.
Keyboard shortcut: Esc.
Note: Several boxes for placing objects can be opened simultaneously (but only one per object type). These boxes can be minimized for the user to work in better conditions and for the placement to be easier. Placing always applies to the object type of the last box on which the Place button was activated.
