IzoT Commissioning Tool Stencils
IzoT Commissioning Tool uses Visio stencils to speed your L ON W ORKS network engineering. A
stencil is a collection of master SmartShapes (also called masters) that you can easily reuse in your
drawings. To add a master SmartShape to your drawing, you drag the master SmartShape from the
stencil to your drawing. IzoT Commissioning Tool includes L
ON W ORKS specific master SmartShapes
called IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShapes. For more information on Visio stencils and master
SmartShapes, see your Visio documentation. Stencils allow you to combine multiple SmartShapes
into larger master SmartShapes. If you include IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShapes in a master
SmartShape, IzoT Commissioning Tool saves the configuration of these SmartShapes with the master
SmartShape, including information such as device template name and configuration property settings.
This allows you to create master SmartShapes that represent, for example, all of the functional blocks
in a device, or all of the devices in a subsystem. You can also create a master SmartShape that is based
on a single SmartShape.
You can create custom IzoT Commissioning Tool stencils to further customize IzoT Commissioning
Tool. See Creating a Custom IzoT Commissioning Tool Stencil for more information. You can save
custom stencils you create for a specific network in the drawing folder of that network. If you create a
custom stencil to use across many networks, you can save it to a global location such as the
LonWorks\LonMaker\Visio directory (C:\Program Files\LonWorks\LonMaker\Visio [32-bit
systems] or C:\Program Files (x86)\LonWorks\LonMaker\Visio [64-bit systems] by default).
You can create custom IzoT Commissioning Tool stencils to further customize IzoT Commissioning
Tool. See Creating a Custom IzoT Commissioning Tool Stencil for more information.
Creating a Custom IzoT Commissioning Tool Stencil
