I would like to use Caneco BT modifiable styles in Caneco Implantation

- If Caneco BT is installed on the same computer as Caneco Implantation, the modifiable styles created in Caneco BT are automatically recognised by Caneco Implantation. And if the two pieces of software are on different terminals,...

Caneco IMPLANTATION

- If Caneco BT is installed on the same computer as Caneco Implantation, the modifiable styles created in Caneco BT are automatically recognised by Caneco Implantation.

- If the two pieces of software are on different terminals, create a Caneco BT file containing the modifiable styles or use an existing Caneco BT file. Then, in Caneco Implantation, in “General Parameters” / “General” tab / ”Caneco BT Project (.afr)” line, double click on the value column to open the Caneco BT file (.afr).

What are the start-up stages of a Caneco Implantation project?

1. Open the DWG drawing and check the unit used for the project (mm, cm, m).
2. Enter this unit in the general parameters of Caneco Implantation.
3. Implement the Caneco objects: distribution(s), receiver(s), paths, terminals, etc.
4. Wire the receivers on the corresponding distribution(s).
5. Save the DWG drawing, which now contains an rdb and mdb file in the same directory.

My project involves several floors. How do I go about the layout?

1. In Caneco BT, create the structure: a main low voltage switchboard feeding distribution boards DB1, DB2, etc.
2. In Caneco Implantation, in each DWG drawing corresponding to the board on the floor, import the Caneco BT project, selecting only the distribution board concerned. Implement and wire the Caneco objects.
3. In Caneco BT, import the mdb file of each DWG drawing completing the structure, downstream of the distribution board: import the circuits (PC, heating, lighting, etc.), cable lengths, consumption of the receivers and coefficients. Calculate the Caneco BT project in accordance with generally accepted practice.
4. In Caneco Implantation, update the cables from the Caneco BT project calculated (import of the cable cross-sections and dimensions).
