11. Select the options to be applied during the synchronization of the LonMaker drawing to the
network database.
Create Shapes for all
Connected NVs/MTs Adds shapes to functional blocks for all connected network variables
or message tags created during resynchronization. If this check box
is cleared, the LonMaker tool uses generic connections when
possible. It only creates network variable or message tag shapes for
connections to supernodes and for those functional blocks that
already contain network variable or message tag shapes.
Use Reference
Shapes for all
Connections Represents all network variable connections created during
resynchronization with reference connection shapes. If this check
box is cleared, the LonMaker tool uses standard connection shapes
for network variable connections in the same subsystem. The
LonMaker tool always uses reference connection shapes for
connections that span subsystems.
Automatically Drop
Device, FB, and
Subsystem Shapes Automatically adds shapes to the drawing for all devices, functional
blocks, and subsystems created during resynchronization. If this
check box is cleared, the LonMaker tool prompts the user to select
whether a shape should be added for a device, functional block, or
subsystem created during resynchronization.
Minimize Drawings
during Resync Minimizes all the drawings in the LonMaker network during
resynchronization. This speeds up resynchronization, as it reduces
the time Visio spends updating the drawings.
Check for
Connections for
Missing FB Shapes Enables the LonMaker tool to check for connections to functional
blocks that are in the network database but are not represented by
functional block shapes in the LonMaker drawing.
