LAYER ASSIGNMENT

Layers in SCD Visio Toolbox

In order to make SCD legible it is highly recommended to use layers and colors.
Different type of information should be placed on different layers and represented with different colors:

Predefined layers

SCD Visio ToolBox provides means of automatic layer assignment. Layer set is predefined for commonly used SAS subsystems and equipment.

SAS System / Node settings

Most of SCD logic shapes have SAS System property. Changing this property will automatically reassign shape to the appropriate layer. Node and SAS System values can be set using Shape Data window or panel.

SAS System visualization in SCD ToolBox

Some SAS Systems such as E,F and P have their own specific colors, while others don't.

NOTE: Changing SAS subsystem of a single shape will NOT change it’s signal’s or other connected shape’s subsystem.
