Site & Floor Availability: This is the first task you will need to do before you start the floor assignment in any site.

When you open the NeTools, you will be asked to enter the user name and password. Type them and click OK.

The Ne Application will open to the overview Map of the Kingdom. This is the default view for every new user who opens the application.

*Note: I did not made any pre-configurations here to exclude unneeded structures types as we used to do.

First, we will need to check if the site is available in the Ne and if the floor is available. Click on Selection>Select By Attribute. The following window will open.

In this window,

1. Make sure that the layer selected is the Structure Layer. 2. Select the site you need with a list of attributes. Usually we use the Site Number.

(you can use the keyboard to reach the first letter of the drop down list) 3. Double click Site Number and click ‘=’ and click Get Unique Value. 4. Select the Site Number and click OK.

After the previous step, the site should be selected. If the site is unavailable please report this to NeTools Team.

You can zoom to the selected site using Selection>Zoom To Selected Features, to see the overview in the Map.

To view the attributes for the selected site, click on Attribute Editor from the toolbar on the left side.

You view all the attribute for the site.

Afterwards, we will open the layouts available on that site by clicking on the Views Explorer from the Toolbar on the left. You can see all the available floors in that site.

To open a floor just double clicks to open or right click and select open.

Floor Plan Update Steps:

Now that we have validated that the site is available and the floor is available we will start with the floor plan update. The first step is to create an Engineering Work Order by clicking on the Work Order Manger From the Toolbar on the left. The previous window will open.

Click on new from the top of the window.

Select EWO from the Work Order Manager window.

Fill in the attributes and then click OK. The Work Order Name attribute should be in the this format (FP_Site#)

Open the floor you want to update.

Go to File> Import and then select the corresponding floor plan you want to update. * Note: The file type supported for the floor plan drawings are: dwg, dxf, emf, vdf, wmf, and here we will deal with dwg and dxf format only.

You will be asked for what is the unit you to import in, either to select (mm) or (inches) depends on how the drafts man saved his drawing, in default use (inches). The new floor plan will overwrite the existing.

You can also export the floor plan from the system to several file formats. Close the floor plane and save your edits.
