Drawing is semi-automatic, i.e. the function does not insert all boxes / field devices and cables in the drawing at the same time, but the user may decide the positioning logic after a certain limit.
If there is a high number of cables and their targets, the diagram may be too large for the basic drawing frame. Then the schema must be divided to several sheets or fitted to a smaller area, or the drawing and its framework must be enlarged so that the drawing fits on one page.
