Scheme Editor
The Scheme Editor is a desktop application for the creation of hydraulic andpneumatic diagrams in compliance with standards. On the basis of a hydraul‐
ic and pneumatic symbol library, it is easily possible to also prepare complex
diagrams. Additional libraries can be added. Material numbers, item numbers
and accessory can be assigned to diagram components so that it is possible
to generate a parts list on the basis of this model.
By means of graphical objects like e.g. line, circle and rectangle with many
possible settings for colors and types, the diagram can be extended by indi‐vidual requirements. For an easier navigation, each object can be assigned a
hyperlink to further documents. Apart from that, each sheet can be assigned
a title block with defined input fields.
The Scheme Editor software can be operated intuitively and does not presup‐
pose special CAD knowledge. It can be used at the customer, in the sales, inthe technical indoor service or in the application center. This manual de‐scribes the functional scope of the application and thus allows you a quick
start. The order of the individual chapters corresponds to the standard work‐
flow in the creation of a diagram.

Description of the User Interface

2.1

GeneralThis section explains the user interface, its individual components and thetoolbars. In this section you learn how to design the program window accord‐
ing to your requirements by docking and undocking the different windows.
The terms used in this section will also be used in the whole documentation.

2.2

Main Window
The main window is the desktop of the program. Its size and position can bechanged. For many other interface elements (e.g. menu bar, toolbars, "dock‐able" windows), the main window can be regarded as a kind of "frame". With‐in the main window, these elements can be attached to the window edges.
Size adjustment
The change in the size of the main window is visualized by three dottedslashes at the lower right edge
. In the maximized view of the main win‐
dow, the slashes are not shown. For this purpose, the window must be mini‐
mized, e.g. using the
button in the title bar. The size of the window can bechanged by positioning the mouse pointer on the window frame area anddragging the window frame to the left / right or upwards / downwards while
keeping the left mouse button pressed.

Fig. 2-1:

2.3

Scaling the main window using the window frame

Title Bar
The horizontal bar at the upper edge of a Windows application is called title
bar. It contains the program symbol with the system menu, the program
name and the pushbuttons for the size (minimize, restore or maximize) as
well as the symbol for exiting the program.

1. Model explorer
In the model explorer, the opened model with the related sheets and compo‐
nents is shown in a structured form. It is used for navigating in the model andfor executing different commands.
2. Model view
The model view document window represents the connection scheme. For
creating the scheme, components from the library can be dragged into themodel view by means of Drag&Drop and connections between the compo‐
nents can be established.
3. Library
In the library, all domains that can be used for the connection scheme crea‐tion are listed. By selecting a domain, the components contained therein are
shown in the component preview (4) situated below.
4. Component preview
In the component preview, the components of the selected domain are
shown.
5. Parts list
The parts list shows a list of the components and accessories used as table.
6. Properties
The properties window allows for the processing of the properties of selectedcomponents. Identification code designation, material and item number canbe processed.

2.4.2

Showing and Hiding Areas
The individual areas can be shown and hidden via the menu item View fromthe main menu.
The "model view" window cannot be hidden. If all opened worksheets areclosed, the area is shown in gray.

Toolbars

2.5.1

General Information on Toolbars
By default, the toolbars are located below the menu bar and consist of push‐buttons by means of which the most important functions can be called. If themouse pointer rests over a symbol for some seconds, its meaning is shownby means of a tooltip.

Fig. 2-4:

The toolbar of the application

The symbols in the toolbar are shown in gray if they are not available due tothe current processing step.
Hiding and showing toolbars:
Toolbars that are not required can be hidden. Clicking on a free area in themenu bar or toolbar using the right mouse button opens a context menu.

Fig. 2-5:

Showing and hiding toolbars via the context menu

The context menu shows all available toolbars. Shown toolbars are marked
by a preceding checkmark. The toolbars can be shown or hidden by setting
the checkmark.

2.5.2

The work environment can be adjusted to your working habits. Many win‐
dows that are frequently required for processing data can be permanently
positioned in the program window while working.

Fig. 2-11:

Docking the independent properties window to the program window

The following steps must be completed for docking a window:
1. Place the mouse pointer on the title bar
2. Press the left mouse button and keep it pressed
3. Drag the mouse button with the attached window to the desired place inthe program window
4. Select the desired docking mode by placing the mouse pointer on the
pictogram (the following modes are available: upper, lower, left and rightwindow frame as well as docking as tab)
5. Release the mouse button

UndockingDocked windows can be released from the program window and be placed
as independent window next to the program window on the desktop or on asecond monitor, if applicable.

Fig. 2-12:

Undocking for the properties window and placing on a freely selecta‐
ble place of the desktop

The following steps must be completed for undocking a window:
1. Place the mouse pointer on the title bar
2. Press the left mouse button and keep it pressed
3. Drag the mouse button with the attached window to the desired place ofthe desktop
4. Release the mouse button

2.6.4

Automatic Hiding
Another possibility for adjusting the program window to one's own require‐ments is offered by the automatic hiding of program windows as it is, for ex‐
ample, known from the Windows task bar. Windows hidden in that way are
shown as pictograms at the program window frame to which they are docked.
If the mouse pointer is placed on the pictogram, the window is shown as longas the cursor is within the shown window and automatically hidden as soon
as the cursor leaves the window. In this way, the place for the model view
can be enlarged in a very effective way.

PrintScheme Editor Version 6.3

Bosch Rexroth AG

15/119Description of the User Interface
By default, the automatic hiding of a window is deactivated. This is shown by
the vertical pin in the right corner of the window title bar:

Fig. 2-13:

Automatic hiding is switched off

Automatic hiding is switched on by clicking on the pin. The pin then changes
into a horizontal orientation, the program window is closed and shown as pic‐
togram at the edge of the display:

When moving over the pictogram, the hidden window is shown

Now, you can work with the window. If the mouse leaves the window, it is hid‐
den again.

2.6.5

Window Alignment
If two or more windows are opened, they can be aligned vertically next toeach other or horizontally above each other. The starting point of the action isthe context menu of the tab of the window that is to be re-aligned.
If the windows are to be shown vertically next to each other, the New Vertical
Tab Group is to be selected, for a horizontal alignment, select New Horizontal
Tab Group.

Fig. 2-16:

The second model view is to be aligned next to the first model view.

After executing the command, the window is shown next to the first window.

PrintScheme Editor Version 6.3

Bosch Rexroth AG

17/119Description of the User Interface

Fig. 2-17:

The second worksheet is shown vertically next to the first worksheet.

The currently active document window is marked by the name in the tab writ‐ten in bold. If now, new windows are opened, they are opened in the active
document window and a new tab is created for the new window.
In this way, the document windows can be divided as often as required - theonly limiting factor is clarity. The document window that has just been createdcan, for example, firstly be divided horizontally, and then vertically again.

Fig. 2-18:

The division of the document windows can be nested arbitrarily. Win‐dows can be moved from one document window into another one bymeans of Drag&Drop.

Via their tab, the windows of a document window can be moved from one
document window into another one by means of Drag&Drop. If the last model
view of a document window is moved into another one, the empty document
window will be closed. In the preceding example, the document window con‐taining the model view "Sheet (4)" is, for example, closed after the latter has
been moved so that the document window with the model view "Sheet (2)"takes the free space.

Selection of Components
The components of the library can be dragged to the model view or, in themodel explorer, to a sheet by means of Drag&Drop.

Fig. 3-2:

Using a component by means of Drag&Drop

If the component is dragged to the model view, it is placed at the point where
the mouse button is released.
If the component is dragged to a sheet in the model explorer, the component
is placed in the left top corner of the sheet.
The library supports the multiple-selection of components. For selective multi‐
ple-selection, keep the <CTRL> key pressed when selecting the components.
For a from-to area selection, keep the <SHIFT> key pressed and select thefirst and then the last component of the area; all components in between will
be selected, as well.
The multiple-selection can be dragged to the model view or a sheet in themodel explorer by means of Drag&Drop. In this connection, the components
are placed over each other.

3.3

Searching Components
The library has a search function by means of which components can beeasily found on the basis of their name. The search with the search term
"directional", for example, will find all components with the term directions intheir name.

43/119Model Explorer

Open Model
Using the Open Model... function, a model stored on data carriers or network
drives can be opened. The function can be accessed from the context menuof the model explorer, the main menu File ▶ Open Model... or the
toolbaricon. After selection of the menu item, the added model can be selected in afile dialog.

Close Model
The model can be closed using the Close model menu item whereas the re‐spective model name is shown instead of the model. If since it has beensaved for the last time, the model has been changed, the user can choose in
an automatically appearing dialog whether the changes are to be saved or re‐jected or if closing of the model is to be canceled.

Create New Sheet
The number of sheets managed by one model is unlimited. In order to create
a new sheet for a model, select the menu item New sheet from the context
menu. A new sheet is created and displayed.

Searching
The model explorer offers a search function by means of which you cansearch for an element in the model explorer. As search criterion, the name or
only a part of the name is used. If the search criterion applies to several ele‐ments, the next hit is highlighted by actuating the search button once again.
If the hit is a component the model view of which is open for editing, the com‐ponent is marked in the model explorer and in the model view.
1. Enter the search term
2. Start the search by clicking the search icon
3. Hit is marked in the model explorer
4. By clicking the search icon again, the next hit is marked

Fig. 4-2:

Scheme Editor Version 6.3

Model Explorer
By double-clicking on a component in the model explorer, the related sheet is
opened. The component is marked in the model view and the sheet is dis‐placed, if necessary, so that with large sheets, the component is shown in thevisible area.

Renaming Elements
Renaming of an element can be initiated in 3 ways:●"Rename" context menu item of the element●

Marking the element and actuating the <F2> functional key●

Marking the element, waiting approx. 1 s, and marking it once again

Afterwards, the new name can be entered.
As long as the renaming process has not been completed by means of the<Enter key> or marking another element, the old name can be restored bypressing the <ESC> key.
The system simulator offers the possibility to give the same name to 2 ele‐ments. I.e. a model can have 2 sheets with identical name and one sheet canhave 2 components with identical name.

Cutting, Copying, Pasting and Deleting Elements
The model explorer allows for the cutting, copying, pasting and deleting of el‐ements via the context menu or the corresponding shortcuts:●

Cutting: (<CTRL>+<X>)●

Copying: (<CTRL>+<C>)●

Pasting: (<CTRL>+<V>)●

Deleting: (<DEL>)

By means of the "Delete" function, the element marked in the model explorer
together with all subordinate elements that might exist will be deleted after aconfirmation prompt. You can delete all elements except the models.
By means of the "Cut" function, the element marked in the model explorer to‐gether with all subordinate elements that might exist will be copied to the clip‐
board and deleted at the place of origin. It can then be pasted at the newdestination using the "Paste" function.
By means of the "Copy" function, the element marked in the model explorer
together with all subordinate elements that might exist will be copied to the
clipboard and can then be pasted at the new destination using the "Paste"function.
The paste operation must always be performed from a superior
element.
●

A sheet can be pasted at the model●

A component can only be added to a sheet

Duplicating
Using the Duplicate context menu item, the marked sheet, component or ac‐
cessory object can be duplicated in the model explorer. The new component
is placed in the top left corner of the model view.

Change Element Order
The order of the elements displayed in the model explorer can be changed by
Drag&Drop. To do this, first choose the elements to be moved by selecting itPrintScheme Editor Version 6.3

Export / Import of Elements

ExportAll elements of the model explorer can be exported. When exporting an ele‐ment, all subordinate elements are exported, as well - if, for example, you ex‐
port a model, all sheets contained therein with all components will be expor‐
ted, as well.
For exporting elements, only 2 steps are necessary:
1. Mark the element, call the context menu by means of the right mousebutton and select the "Export..." menu item
2. Determine the destination directory and the file name in the export dia‐log and export the element by means of saving
If a model is exported, the system simulator automatically selects the file type"model file (*.edtmdl)". A model exported in this way can be added at any
time using the "Open model..." function.
If a worksheet is exported, the system simulator automatically selects the file
type "sheet file (*.edtsht)". A sheet exported in this way can be added to any
model at any time using the "Import..." function.
If a component is exported, the system simulator automatically selects the file
type "component file (*.edtcmp)". A component exported in this way can be
added to any model at any time using the "Import..." function.

Import
The context menu command Import allows the adding of models, sheets andcomponents. Depending on the object the import is startet, different objects
can be imported:●

whole models (*.edtmdl) via the model explorer context menue●

sheets (*.edtsht) via the context menu of a model node●

components (*.edtcmp) via the context menu of a sheet node
1. Mark the model or sheet in the model explorer, call the context menu bymeans of the right mouse button and select the "Import..." menu item
2. Select the file with the import data in the dialog and start the import bymeans of Open

If the import is started from a model, only sheets can be imported; the file
type is already specified as "sheet file (*.edtsht)".
If the import is started from a sheet, sheets and components can be imported
whereas the file type is pre-set to "component file (*.edtcmp)". If a sheet isimported, it is added under the currently selected model.
Import and export can be initiated directly from the model view.

Model View

5.1

GeneralThe model view is used for creating and visualizing a model. It presents the
sheets of a model as well as the components contained therein in a graphicalform in a drawing sheet. The required components can be dragged from thecomponent library to the model view, placed at the desired place and connec‐
ted with each other.
The model view offers the user functions for the visual revision of the model.
The size and position of the components can be changed, free drawing func‐
tions allow for the creation of lines and simple geometrical figures of any col‐or.

Set-up of a Model

5.2.1

Adding Components

The model view shows the sheets of a mode together with their com‐ponents and serves the creation and visualization of a model.

A model consists of components and their connection among each other.
From the library, the components are directly dragged to the model view bymeans of Drag&Drop.
After positioning of the component, the latter is marked in the model view andin the model explorer.
From the library, the components can also be directly dragged to a sheet in
the model explorer whereas they will then be positioned in the top left corner.

5.2.2

Marking Components and Objects
There are several possibilities for marking components and other objects on
the model view.
Marking individual objects in the model view
The most usual one is the positioning of the mouse pointer over the object to
be marked until the mouse pointer turns into an arrow cross.

nent can be rotated arbitrarily.
If the object is rotated using the right mouse button, a context
menu is offered after releasing the right mouse button. In it, therotated object can be copied to the mouse pointer position using
the Copy here menu item; the source object remains unchanged
and is not rotated.

Scaling
Fee scaling
Using the mouse, objects can be scaled via their handles. The handles be‐come visible by selecting the object. If an object has no handles, it cannot be
scaled.

Fig. 5-14:

Scaling an object

For scaling, the mouse pointer must be positioned over a handle and after‐wards, the left mouse button must be kept pressed. Now, the object can bescaled to the desired size using the mouse. If the desired size is reached, themouse button can be released.

Scaling is also possible for several marked objects at the sametime.
If during scaling, you keep the <SHIFT> key pressed, only propor‐
tional scaling is possible, in which the side ratios are maintained.
If the object is scaled using the right mouse button, a context
menu is offered after releasing the right mouse button. In it, thescaled object can be copied to the mouse pointer position using
the Copy here menu item; the source object remains unchanged
and is not scaled.
Size adjustment
The size of objects can be adjusted to the size of other objects. For this pur‐pose, at least two objects must be selected whereas the object with the refer‐ence size must be selected last. Via the toolbar, the height, width or the com‐bination of both of the objects marked first can be adjusted to the reference

Aligning Objects

Grid
The positioning of objects in the model view is simplified by the grid. The gridis activated by default, the grid space is half the grating width. The grid canbe switched on and off using thetoolbar.

With activated grid, objects can only be positioned according to the grid
space; free positioning at pixel level is only possible by moving objects using
the keyboard.

GuidesGuides simplify the alignment of objects at pixel level. If an object is moved toan guides, it "gets stuck" at it with the left or right side in case of a verticalguides or with the top or bottom side in case of a horizontal guides.
Guides can be shown or hidden by means of the context menu item Show/
Hide ▶ Show/Hide Guides.
Creation
For the creation of auxiliary lines, it is imperative that the ruler is visible. It canbe activated via the context menu item Show/Hide ▶ Show/Hide Ruler or bymeans of thetoolbar.

1. Position the mouse pointer on the ruler. For a horizontal auxiliary line on
the horizontal ruler, for a vertical one on the vertical ruler.
2. Press the mouse button and keep it pressed.
3. Drag the mouse pointer to the model view. The auxiliary line follows thecurrent cursor position.
4. Release the mouse button in order to draw the auxiliary line at the cur‐rent cursor position.

are available:
●

Line

●

Polyline●

Polygon●Rectangle●

Ellipse●Ellipse arc●

Like all other objects of the model view, these objects can be marked,
moved, deleted, duplicated and scaled.
By clicking on the icon in the toolbar, creation of the drawing object is started.
The creation can be completed at any time using the <RETURN> key or the
Finish Creation context menu. When creating a polyline or a polygon, theshortcut <ALT> + <RETURN> (or the context menu item Finish Creation and
Add Point and/or a double click) provides for the finishing incl. the current
point to be placed; without <ALT>, the latter would be rejected.

5.4.2

Line
The line is defined by 2 points. Using the left mouse button, click once at thefirst and once at the second point. Between the first and the second click, theline is shown as preview. Alternatively, you can also keep the mouse buttonpressed while dragging the line; when you finally release it, the line will bedrawn.
A line does not have the typical marking points like an rectangle
has for example. A marked line has one handle at each of its
ends.
If during creation of the line, you keep the SHIFT key pressed, theline slope is set to 45° steps.

5.4.3

Polyline
A polyline is defined by 3 or more points. The points are set one after the oth‐er with the left mouse button. The creation of the polyline can be completedby means of a double-click or the Finish Creation context menu.
If during creation of the line segment, you keep the <SHIFT> keypressed, the line slope is set to 45° steps.

5.4.4

PolygonA polygon is defined by 3 or more points. The points are set one after the oth‐er with the left mouse button. The "smallest" polygon is a triangle. The crea‐tion of the polygon can be completed by means of a double-click or the Finish
Creation context menu.
If during setting of the polygon points, you keep the <SHIFT> keypressed, the slope of the polygon sides is set to 45° steps.

5.4.5

Rectangle
A rectangle is a polygon consisting of 4 points in which all angles are exactly
90° and the opposite sides are parallel to each other.
When drawing a rectangle, it is sufficient to determine the two points of a di‐agonal. The rectangle is automatically drawn so that the sides are parallel tothe edges of the sheet. If the rectangle is to be positioned in a rotated form,
this has to be achieved by a subsequent rotation.
If during creation of the rectangle, you keep the <SHIFT> keypressed, a square will be drawn.

5.4.6

Ellipse
Similar to the rectangle, the ellipse is defined by setting two points and is tobe understood as "compressed" circle. During creation, the ellipse is de‐signed so that the two focal points of the ellipse are located on a line parallelto the horizontal. If the ellipse is to be positioned in a rotated form, this has tobe achieved by a subsequent rotation.
If during creation of the ellipse, you keep the <SHIFT> key press‐
ed, a circle will be drawn.

5.4.7

Ellipse Arc
The ellipse arc is similar to an ellipse with the difference, that the ellipse arc
is interrupted between the 3 and 6 ó clock position. To change the ellipse arc,
select him and choose the context menu point Edit. The starting point of theellipse arc is now marked with an square, the end with an arrow.
Click the square or arrow and hold down the mouse key while moving themouse to move the point. Release the mouse key to save the changes. To
interrupt the editing, press the <ESC> key.
If you move the mouse pointer towards the inner area of the el‐lipse arc during editing, the ellipse arc changes to an ellipse sec‐
tor and vice versa.

5.4.8

Ellipse Sector
The ellipse sector is an ellipse arc with start and end point connected by lines
with the center of the ellipse. See llipse sector for further details.

5.4.9

Free Text
In order to create a free text, it is sufficient to determine the starting point of
the free text. From there, the entered text is written to the right.
The size of the free text is adjusted to the content. There is no automatic line
break as there are no edges - a new line must be created manually using the
Return key.
In the "Format text" dialog that is called via the Format context menu of thetext box or the toolbar, the size, font type and type face as well as the color of
the free text can be changed. The new settings take effect for the whole text
in the free text.

In the dialog, the new settings can be defined as standard for all new text ob‐
jects.
The individual formatting possibilities are also accessible separately via thetoolbar.

5.4.10

Text box
The difference between the text box and the free text is that the size can be
determined irrespective of the content by specifying the size of the field dur‐
ing creation of the text field accordingly or adjusting it subsequently. Thus, an"extensive" text may be cut off.

5.4.11

Editing Drawing Objects
The drawing objects line, polyline, and polygon can be adjusted subsequently
by moving the points defining them, adding new points or removing points.
There are three possibilities for putting a drawing object into editing mode:PrintScheme Editor Version 6.3

Bosch Rexroth AG

69/119Model View●

Marking the object with a double-click●

Marking the object and selecting Edit from the context menu

For this purpose, the object must be marked once again after marking. Thus,
the handles disappear and the points defining the object become visible.
These points can now be moved or deleted, if applicable, or you can add new
points.
Adding & moving points
The handling of points is explained using a simple line as example:
1. Mark the line by clicking it with the mouse.
2. Put the marked line into the editing mode by another mouse click andposition the mouse pointer at that point of the line at which a new point
is to be added. The mouse pointer changes to precision selection if a
new point can be added. By means of a mouse click or the context
menu Add Point, the new point is created.
3. Position the mouse pointer over the point so that the mouse pointerchanges to the movement cursor. For moving the point, press the left
mouse button and keep it pressed.
4. Move the mouse pointer to the new target position of the point and re‐lease the mouse button

Fig. 5-21:

By adding and moving a point, a simple line becomes a polyline

If when moving the point, you keep the <SHIFT> key pressed, thepoint can only be positioned so that the changed line section can
only have 45° steps.
If in the preceding example, editing is completed after point 3, thenewly set point that is exactly on the line is removed again as thedescription of the line by the two end points is accurate enough.
Delete point
Individual points of the drawing objects polyline and polygon can be deleted.
You can maximally delete all points but 2 defining one line.
For deleting a point, the object is put into editing mode, the cursor is posi‐tioned over the point to be deleted and the Delete point context menu item isselected. Alternatively, you can position the mouse on the point to be deleted
while keeping the <CTRL> key pressed. Over the point, the cursor changes
to an "X". The point is then deleted by means of a mouse click.
If a polygon is reduced to 2 points and later provided with morepoints again, this will automatically result in a polygon (closedform) again and no polyline.

GeneralUser defined fields are used to store user defined content to a component.
They can be named individual and shown in the parts list. So the user canstore pricing information, weight or material numbers. User defined fields are
saved in the model so other users work with them if you send them the mod‐el.
The user can add up to 30 user defined fields. Fields added in the Options
dialog will be assigned automatic if you create a new model. Fields added tothe model will only be available in this model.
Each model component can have a individual content for the user defined
field. If the model is saved or exported and transferred, all fields are available
for other users.
User defined field only store text. If you define a field "price" andenter a price, this field will be exported as text. If you want to sum
up data from user defined fields, use the excel export of the parts
