Creating Prototype Panels

You can create prototype panels in the following ways. Each method converts CA 2E function device designs from an CA 2E design model into Toolkit panel designs.

• Use the CA 2E Convert Model Panel Designs (YCVTMDLPNL) command.
• Use the CA 2E animate options.

CA 2E Animation provides a direct link between CA 2E and Toolkit. This includes converting device designs to Toolkit, full access to all Toolkit panel editing and simulation functions, and the ability to return directly to your model.

Toolkit panel designs reside in a panel design file in a nominated library. The default is your model library. You create panel design files using one of the following:

• The Toolkit Create Design File (YCRTDSNF) command.
• The CA 2E animate options. If the panel design file does not exist when you convert a model panel, it is created for you.
