Plant Search

The Plant Search program is used to locate plants in DesignWare 3.3. It can be accessed from the main menu by selecting Training / Plant Search. Plant Search also has the ability to add new libraries, created by the user, to the original list of plant libraries.

The Main window, as shown below, is used to locate a specific plant in DesignWare 3.3. When a plant is selected the following information about the plant is displayed: a thumbnail image of the plant, the location of the plant image, the location of the library file containing the plant and the library dropdown menu location.

The selected plant can be quickly added to a design, if the contents of the Image File Location is copied and then pasted into the File Name text box on the File / Import Object window.
