Insert Diffuser Schedule

The Insert Diffuser Schedule command can be used to insert a diffuser schedule on the drawing that lists all of the diffusers used in the current project.

To insert the diffuser schedule, go to
Ribbon: DM HVAC→Diffusers→  Insert Diffuser Schedule
Pulldown Menu: DM HVAC→Diffusers→Insert Diffuser Schedule

Edit Diffuser Project Schedule Dialog Box​

  •  Schedule Notes: A note that will appear below the schedule when inserted on the drawing.

  •  ☐ Maximum Schedule Height: Whether the schedule has a maximum height. This height corresponds to inches on the printed page.

    If this is not checked, the schedule will be in a single schedule.

    If this is checked, you can specify the maximum height of the schedule. When the schedule exceeds this height, it will be continued in a second schedule next to the first. The label of the second schedule will have the Schedule title continued label option added to it to indicate that it is a continuation of the first schedule. See the Miscellaneous options section for more information.

  •   Press this button to specify the ☐ Maximum Schedule Height on the drawing. The dialog box will be closed and you will be prompted to specify the height.

    Specify maximum schedule height:

    The distance that you enter on the drawing will be used as the maximum height. It is simplest to draw a line straight down to where the bottom of the schedule should be located.

  •  ☐ Show Unused Diffusers Whether diffusers in the schedule that have not been inserted on a drawing will be displayed in the schedule.

  •   Press this button to modify the layout of the diffuser schedule on the drawing. See the Edit Diffuser Schedule List section for more information.

Inserting or Updating the Schedule On the Drawing​

To insert or update the schedule, press the button.

Inserting the Schedule the First Time​

If the diffuser schedule is not currently inserted on the drawing, you will be prompted for the insertion location of the schedule.

Specify insertion point for diffuser schedule:

The location you specify will be used as the top-left corner for the diffuser schedule.

Updating the Schedule Already on the Drawing​

If the diffuser schedule is already inserted on the drawing, it will be updated in its current location.

You must update the schedule on the drawing when changes are made to the project schedule. The schedule will not update automatically.

If additional graphics, such as revision clouds, have been inserted over the schedule graphic, be sure to check their location after updating the schedule.
