Schematic Bundles

Save pre-wired device layouts as reusable bundles. Place them on any canvas to instantly recreate the same devices, wiring, and configuration.

What is a Schematic Bundle?

A schematic bundle is a snapshot of selected devices and their wiring on the canvas. It captures:

• Device blocks — positions, metadata, port configuration, notes
• Wires — all connections between the selected devices, including waypoints
• Port tags — labels attached to ports (e.g., "Client LAN", "AV Network")
• Signal routes — internal routing configurations for each device

Saving a Bundle

1. Marquee-select the devices you want to bundle (drag a rectangle around them)
2. All wires between the selected devices are automatically included
3. Right-click any selected device and choose Save as Bundle
4. Enter a name and optional description
5. To update an existing bundle, select it from the list at the top of the save dialog

Placing a Bundle

1. Click the puzzle piece icon in the sidebar under BUNDLES
2. Select a bundle from the list
3. Your cursor changes — click anywhere on the canvas to place the bundle
4. All devices, wires, tags, and routes are recreated at that position

Each placement creates new device instances with unique IDs. The original bundle is not modified.

Refreshing Metadata

If a product's connection metadata has been updated in the catalog after devices were placed on the canvas:

1. Right-click any device block
2. A green dot appears next to Refresh Metadata if an update is available
3. Click to pull the latest metadata from the product catalog

Automatic Sync Before Copilot Messages

Every message you send AVIP Assistant syncs the whole drawing from the catalog first, before the copilot reads a single port. If a device's port changed type or label since it was placed, the wire on that port is removed, and the copilot's reply names which device lost a wire.

A wire can also be removed from a device whose own ports already match the catalog. This happens when the wire was left stranded on a port that no longer exists — from an earlier change elsewhere on the drawing — and this sync is what clears it. Either way, the drawing is marked unsaved and nothing is written until you click Save. A read-only user's message runs no sync, since a read-only user can't change the drawing.

Using Bundles with AVIP Assistant

AVIP Assistant can search and place bundles via chat:

• "What bundles are available?" — lists saved schematic bundles
• "Add the UC-CX100-T bundle to page 1" — places a bundle on the canvas

Port Validation

When placing a bundle, port indices are validated against the current device metadata. If a product's ports have changed since the bundle was saved:

• Wires connecting to ports that no longer exist are skipped
• A warning message lists which wires were dropped
• All valid devices and wires are still placed normally
