Using wizards

A wizard is a window that is displayed in the Wizards palette and that includes a pictogram-like legend representing frequently used tools. In addition, you can use wizards to work with predefined content. You can match all attributes and parameters of elements from the wizard. You do not need to define any element properties.

Clicking an element with the right mouse button opens a shortcut menu with the following options:

• The tool that was used to create the element is displayed at the top of the shortcut menu. Allplan draws the element with the most recent properties; the parameters and attributes are not taken from the wizard.
• Match opens the tool that was used to create the element and takes all the parameters and attributes from the wizard.
  This is equivalent to double-clicking the element with the right mouse button.
• Conversion for Building Alteration Work is presented for most architectural elements. This matches the building alteration category set for the element clicked. If you have not assigned a building alteration category, new building is used automatically.

Allplan comes with several predefined wizard files. You can also create your own wizards The predefined wizards are installed in the Wizard folder (\etc\assistent). or purchase wizards with content.

• You can save drawing files and NDW files as wizards by clicking Save copy as on the File menu and setting the file type to Wizard (*.nas).
• You can save wizards as NDW files or drawing files by clicking in the wizard window with the right mouse button and then selecting the tool you require.
