To create a Don’t Care area:

1.Click AP Plan in the Feature Tree at the left side of the browser window.

Note: You can zoom in on the floor plan using the Zoom pull-down near the top of the AP Planning page, or type a zoom value in the text box at the left of the

pull-down and press the enter key on your keyboard.

2.In the Planning page, click the New link in the Areas section under Floor 1. This opens the Area Editor.

3.Type Shipping and Receiving in the Name text box in the Area Editor.

4.Select Don’t Care from the Type pull-down menu box.

5.Click Apply.

An orange box appears near the center of the floor plan.

The information you typed in the editor appears in the box. You see the name and type of area, as well as the coordinates of the lower left corner and upper right corner of the box.

Note: The x = 0 and y = 0 coordinates correspond to the lower left corner of the layout space.

6.Using your mouse, click and drag the box over the Shipping and Receiving area.

7.Drag one corner of the box to a corresponding corner of the Shipping and Receiving area and using one of the corner handles of the box, stretch it to fit exactly over the Shipping and Receiving area.

Your floor plan with the Don’t Care box should look similar to Figure 4-27.
