Version Information

Product: SmartSketch
Number: SGBY218AA-0400A
Version: 04.00.43.05
Date: October 2001

Description: SmartSketch is a 2D drawing and concept design tool that bridges the gap between traditional CAD applications and simple drawing packages. It is a powerful 32-bit application that may be used throughout the office and is specifically designed to work with the Microsoft Office products.

Year 2000 Status

Certified as Year 2000 compliant.

System Requirements

Microsoft® Windows 98, Windows NT SP4 and higher, Windows 2000, or Windows ME.
133 MHz Pentium^® processor or higher.
64 MB RAM recommended.
83 MB free disk space for minimum installation.
Access to CD-ROM drive.
Sound card recommended.
800 x 600 resolution or higher.
Microsoft or Microsoft-compatible mouse (Intellimouse^® pointing device recommended).

Version Compatibility

SmartSketch Version 4.0 was tested on the following applications. Any special circumstances or problems are noted as follows:

Operating Systems:

Microsoft Windows NT SP6
Microsoft Windows 2000 SP1
Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
Microsoft Windows ME

Office Applications:

Microsoft Office 2000

Browsers:

Internet Explorer 5.5

RAD-based Applications:

SmartSketch and several other applications use the RAD platform for their core graphics capabilities. Because of differing RAD versions across Intergraph PBS products, please review the following notes before installing SmartSketch V4.

Intergraph SmartPlant P&ID Version 2.1. SmartSketch V4 should be loaded after SmartPlant P&ID; SmartPlant P&ID Catalog Manager and Options Manager cannot be used after installing SmartSketch V4; SmartPlant P&ID Migrator will not work with SmartSktetch V4.
Intergraph SmartPlant P&ID Version 2.2. SmartSketch V4 should be loaded after SmartPlant P&ID; SmartPlant P&ID Catalog Manager and Options Manager cannot be used after installing SmartSketch V4; a SmartSketch V4 file cannot be inserted into SmartPlant P&ID as an object. After a migration, if SmartPlant P&ID and SmartSketch V4 are both open, the attributes of a symbol in SmartSketch will not display. Close both SmartPlant P&ID and SmartSketch, reopen the SmartSketch file, and the attribute viewer will display correctly.
Intergraph INtools Version 5.2. If both SmartSketch and INtools are running at the same time, no smartloops can be generated in INtools. SmartSketch should be exited before running smartloops in INtools.

Aspen Tech Zyqad Version 10.3 SP8. SmartSketch V4 should be loaded after Zyqad.

Other Applications:

MathCAD2000/2001: Caveats - SmartSketch V4 should be loaded after MathCAD; otherwise, the insert component SmartSketch function in MathCAD will not function and links cannot be established.

Installing, Upgrading, and Removing

For information on installing SmartSketch or upgrading from a previous version, refer to the CD booklet that came with the product or the SmartSketch v4.0 User's Guide. The SmartSketch v4.0 User's Guide is delivered on your application CD.

To remove an installed version of SmartSketch manually, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs. We recommend the following uninstall order: first, remove all installed custom add-in modules (e.g. Symbol Authoring, Process Solutions, AEC Solutions, etc.), and then remove SmartSketch.

Documentation

The SmartSketch v4.0 User's Guide, available in PDF format, is delivered on the SmartSketch v4.0 CD and is available through the AutoPlay feature. To view this PDF document, you will need Adobe® Acrobat® Reader version 3.0 or higher. You can install version 4.0 of the Adobe Acrobat Reader from the SmartSketch v4.0 CD or from the Adobe web page.

New Features

AutoCAD/MicroStation Translator Enhancements:

Improved Data Fidelity - When translating a .dgn or .dwg document, blocks and cells containing attribute or tag data are now translated into symbols with SmartLabels that display the attribute data.
Reference File Layer Control - You have more control over reference files with the ability to turn on or off the display of layers in your AutoCAD and MicroStation reference files.

Productivity Enhancements:

Improved product performance - Faster file open, faster display of objects and faster updates - upon opening a file, a "lightweight" representation of each object (instead of the whole object) is loaded into memory. Once selected or modified, the whole object is then loaded into memory.
Format Painter command - Copy a selected object's format, including color, line weight, line style, and font, and apply it to other objects as you select them, whether the objects are similar or not.
Save as Image command - Write the graphics on the current drawing sheet or defined area to a standard image file. Editable options include image file format, compression factor, and resolution.
Enhanced view options - Turn off the display of the drawing sheet as well as specify whether the sheet outline is to be used during a fit.
Detail View command - Insert a detail view based on graphics inside a user-defined envelope. You can further refine the detailed view by selecting a scale factor from 1.5 to 10.
Improved PinPoint tool - Enhanced PinPoint ribbon now provides four additional placement modes for precision placement of geometry:
- Relative Tracking moves the PinPoint target to last point clicked during a drawing command.
- Define Point Origin activates an additional ribbon bar containing fields for X & Y values which define a document origin for PinPoint.
- Save Document Origin saves the currently displayed X and Y values to the document.
- Reposition Target to Origin moves the PinPoint target to the X, Y position saved using Save Document Origin.
Edit common attributes within a select set - If multiple symbols containing the same attributes are selected, these command attributes will be displayed in the attribute viewer for editing. Any changes made to one symbol's attributes is applied to all selected symbols.
Enhanced options on the Connector ribbon
- The Split Connector button splits a selected connector at a point defined by a single mouse click. Or use it to identify a symbol and split the connector based on the best two points on that symbol - the resulting new connector is given the same properties as the original connector.
- The Merge Connector button allows you to select two connectors and merge them into one.
Improved Label placement and editing - New labels placed on a symbol will be glued to the symbol so that they move when the symbol is moved. You can also associate multiple labels to symbols.
Improved hyperlinking to include logical names - Now the logical name of the default hyperlink displays as a tool tip when the mouse passes over an object containing an hyperlink. Logical names are also displayed on the shortcut menu for the Hyperlink command.
Spell Checker - Uses Microsoft Word's Spell Checker to find possible spelling errors in all text boxes on the current drawing sheet.
Enhanced file linking - Linked objects inserted in SmartSketch drawings are saved as relative links, increasing the portability of your drawings.

Symbol Enhancements:

Single-click symbol placement - Select a symbol from Symbol Explorer and place multiple copies in your drawing sheet without having to drag it in mouse down mode.
Improved Attribute Viewer:
- Edit displayed attributes before and during symbol placement.
- Use the Up and Down arrow keys (or the Enter key) to scroll through Attribute Viewer values.
Improved Symbol Authoring:
- The SmartPoint Properties dialog box allows you to place "smartpoints" which have one or more of the following behaviors: Connect Point, Drop Point, or Drag Point.
- New symbol behavior that allows a symbol to split elements on drop. Intended primarily to split connectors when placing an inline symbol, it will also split most other elements.
- More easily identifiable SmartPoint graphics.
Symbol Lookup tables - Ideal for use with Ortho and Structural content, these tables allow you to drive parameters of a symbol using data from spreadsheet, database, or any other ODBC data source.

Open Problems

When running SmartSketch on Windows 98 or Windows ME systems, placement of multiple parametric symbols may deplete GDI resources, resulting in a crash. To recover GDI resources, we recommend that during extended drawing sessions users periodically save their work, exit, and re-enter SmartSketch.

Additional problems and other late-breaking information is contained in the SmartSketch Knowledge Base.

SmartSketch Tips
