HyDraw Organization

®

Structure

• Symbols
HyDraw Library • Model Data
Manager • Data relationships

• Library Interface
HyDraw Drawing • Circuit Drawing
• BOM, Port Chart, and Net List Creation

®

Usage

Standalone Mode:
HyDraw HyDraw Library and drawing on user’s
Library Drawing User computer.

Network Mode:
Library on the network and shared by
all users.

®

Library Data Structure

HyDraw stores data in a relational hierarchical data structure.

®

Symbols

• Symbols depict the operational behavior of the
component.

• All symbols provided with HyDraw are drawn,
per ISO 1219-1:2006

• A configurator is provided with HyDraw, which lets
the user easily draw direction and proportional
valve symbols that are not available.

• Users can create their own symbols by using the
symbol builder in HyDraw.

®

Symbols

HyDraw Symbols:

• Unconnected ports shown as red
squares.

• Port numbers in text, solenoid names,
which are configurable for US or
Europe convention, in text.

• Component ID in a balloon.

• Connection lines snap to ports.

Component information can be displayed with the symbol.

Balloon shape is configurable.

®

Symbols

Orifices in symbols are configurable.

Option to use symbols in color, per ISO.

®

Software Structure


The HyDraw Library Explorer contains all the library data within HyDraw.

It allows the user to create and modify data, which is used in creating circuit drawings.

HyDraw can also be modified to work with existing databases.

®

Circuit Drawing Structure

A HyDraw circuit drawing contains all the above data embedded in it.

When a component is inserted into the circuit drawing from the HyDraw library, all the
model data associated with that component is also transferred into the drawing.

®

Circuit Drawing Structure

A HyDraw drawing is created within Microsoft Visio.

Microsoft Visio has been customized to create hydraulic circuit diagrams.

®

Minimum System Requirements

• Microsoft Windows XP / Vista Home
• Microsoft Visio 2007 Standard

• 1 GB Free Hard Disk Space
• Requirements, per Visio 2007

®

HyDraw User Interface Review

®

HyDraw User Interface Review

HyDraw has an intuitive user-friendly interface.

The user needs no prior knowledge of Visio to use HyDraw.

®

Using the HyDraw Library

®

Using the HyDraw Library

• The HyDraw library contains symbols and data for a large number of
components.

• The library can be accessed in various ways when creating the circuit
diagram.

• Access the library from the HyDraw Library Explorer.

• Access the library from the HyDraw Property Manager.

®


Accessing symbols from the tree structure

The HyDraw Library Explorer provides access to the library of components and hydraulic
ports using a logical tree structure. It also allows Search for components.

Symbols can be dragged and dropped into your drawing.

®


The External Ports Library tab is used to insert ports into the drawing.

Either drag the port symbol into the drawing or configure the port and then drag and
drop the symbol. Configured data is attached to the port dragged into the drawing.

®


The user can also search for components in the HyDraw Library.

Locate the symbol representing the functionality of the component.

Once you locate and select a component, you will see its symbol.

When you drag and drop the symbol into your drawing, the associated model data
is attached to the inserted symbol.

®

Library Access from HyDraw Property Manager

HyDraw can locate components from the HyDraw Library, using design requirements
provided by the designer.

®

Creating Circuit Drawing

®

Creating Circuit Drawings

The user can use different ways to create a circuit drawing

Here are some possible ways:

• A circuit designer conceptualizes a circuit from scratch.

• Transfers an existing circuit to HyDraw.

• Creates a circuit from its BOM and its rough drawing.

• Once a drawing is created the user creates a BOM and Port chart, and
inserts it into the drawing.

®

Conceptualizing a Circuit

When conceptualizing and designing a system, the designer would usually
first conceptualize the circuit logic by inserting symbols and connecting
them.

Once the logic is finalized, the symbols are converted to components by
assigning model codes to them.

HyDraw participates in the process as follows:

• User selects a graphic symbol.

• The HyDraw symbol clearly depicts its functionality,
graphically making it easy to select the symbol for the
function needed.

®


• The symbols are arranged in an heirarchical folder
structure in HyDraw. The heirarchy is such that the
designer can locate symbols quickly and easily.

• HyDraw provides smart drawing tools, which lets you
make your circuit drawing quickly and easily.
– Automatic jumpers and connectors are drawn as
the circuit is created.

– As connections are moved, connection lines
stay attached.

– SNAP setting makes it easy to draw.

– Ports are attached automatically to envelop lines.

®


• HyDraw lets the user automatically locate model codes meeting his/her design
criteria, from the HyDraw Library.

®

Transferring a Circuit to HyDraw

• The user already has a paper
circuit drawing with the BOM on
the drawing.

• The user can use the search function
in HyDraw to search for the
components (symbol + data) and
insert them into the circuit drawing.

• The user can very quickly insert all components
into the drawing, connect them and create a
BOM.

®

Using BOM in Excel

• If the user has the BOM in a digital
format, it can be converted to an
Excel file and then used to create
the drawing quickly.

• All the components can be
inserted quickly and easily into
the drawing using model codes in
the Excel file.

• The user can complete the circuit
drawing.

®

Finishing the Circuit Drawing

• HyDraw provides automated
manual methods to finish the
drawing, which includes
– Numbering the components

– Inserting balloons

– Creating and inserting
Parts List
Port Chart
