Three configurations are essential for the behaviour of the Insert using catalogue... macro.
•Configurations for Automatic item designation generation are part of the project parameters. Please refer to the Drawing Environment Settings topic, and more specifically to the Automatic item designation generation OnLine sub-topic, for a detailed description of those.
•The selection of the Default catalogue is also part of the project parameters. Please refer to the Default catalogue topic for a description of that.
•Additionally, the possible presentation of a dialogue box to specify exactly which of the associated symbols to insert is controlled by a separate configuration, which is made in a configuration file.
The name of that configuration file is PREFERENCES.INI. It is placed in the local workstation directory, normally named C:\ELSAWSxxx, where xxx varies depending on server drive letter and workstation code.
PREFERENCES.INI may contain a section named [SymbolInsertion] with a key named MultipleSymbolCatalogueInsertDialogue. That key can be set to 0 or to 1. 0 means no dialogue, and 1 means that a dialogue is presented when the number of associated symbols exceeds one.
Below, you will find an example of how the [SymbolInsertion] section may look like when the feature in question is active.
[SymbolInsertion]
MultipleSymbolCatalogueInsertDialogue=1
You can edit the PREFERENCES.INI configuration file using Notepad or another suitable text file editor.
