Jetbot Drawings Tips and Tricks

Using Jetbot Drawings will help get most of the hard work done for you and your team. However, there are a few situations where Jetbot may need a bit more help to get the full understanding of your project and you may want to manually fine tune your results.

Use the Modify button to update your drawing with additional instructions, or right click on a device to report a specific model error. This can be used for all desired adjustments to your drawings, and will generally improve Jetbot's capabilities and understanding.

Hover over an existing wire connection to highlight it for easier viewing.

To change the wire type of an existing wire connection, right click on the wire and select a new type from the menu.

Drag and drop devices or wires within the drawing to move them while keeping the wiring intact.

Add a wire connection by clicking on an open port on a device and dragging the wire to an available port on another device. (The wire will initially appear in magenta as an undefined wire type; right click on it to define the wire type)

You can delete the existing devices or connections by clicking on the device or wire label, and then clicking the trash can icon.

Don't forget- any changes you make to your drawing can be undone by clicking the Undo or Redo buttons along the top of your drawing.

Drawings can be viewed using zoom, pan, and scroll shortcuts with your mouse wheel or trackpad. Jetbot should be able to sense what type of device you're on, but you can also set this selection manually by clicking the icons on the top menu bar.

Jetbot will remember and automatically retain your selection when you go in and out of various drawings.

If using a desktop computer with a mouse, select the mouse icon. You can zoom in and out by scrolling the mouse wheel over any area of the drawing.

If you're using a laptop, select the trackpad icon. You can use two-finger actions to pan around different areas of the drawing, or pinch and expand to zoom in or out.

Depending on your specific device, a specialty trackpad or mouse may function differently on the opposite setting, so be sure to check it out to find out what works best for you!

To account for an outside network or equipment already on-site, we recommend adding an OFE network switch to your project. This can either be done by using a real world item that is as close a match as possible to the outside item, or by creating a custom item to use.

For this method, be sure to include as much information as possible in the description, including the number of ports on the device. This will allow Jetbot to incorporate this info to it's knowledge base, and use the item applicably in your projects now and in the future.

While we are still working on building and updating Jetbot Drawings, we appreciate your help testing it out, and we want to hear about your experiences!

Please report all of your findings and comments to us by clicking the "Report" button along the top of the drawing.

In the window that pops up, you can enter notes to send to our team. Let us know if you are seeing irregularities or discrepancies with the drawings you've created, or to share positive experiences where Jetbot exceeds your expectations. Every bit of information you can give us will help guide our plans for the future.

We hope that helps! Feel free to reach out to Support Chat with any questions!
