Copy Level Assignments Dialog Box

Define or capture a common set of level assignments for panel footprint components and then copy these 3-digit level codes to one or multiple footprints. This coding, when present, influences the way that AutoCAD Electrical calculates the wire connection from/to sequence.

 Command entry:  AECOPYLEVEL

Level 4/Level 3/Level 2/Level 1

You can type in the level assignments or select from the drawing using Pick. Categories: Level 4 (shipping split - highest level), Level 3 (unit), Level 2 (cubical), and Level 1 (pan or plate - lowest level). You can copy all level information or unselect one or more level categories before copying.

An enabled, blank edit box indicates to erase any existing values and forces the use of the drawing-wide default value. If an edit box is unavailable, the existing value is not overwritten. Use the switches to enable or disable the edit box for each level category.

Terminal strips only

Applicable only the level assignments to copy to panel terminal strip representations, and the terminal strips are referenced on the schematics as well as the panel layout drawing. (In other words, they are not supplementary terminal strips that are only represented on the panel layout drawings).

Select this option, and then select one of the following:

  • Disable (Default) AutoCAD Electrical treats the terminal connections through the terminal strip normally. It uses the level category code assignments of the terminal to influence how the from/to wire sequencing is calculated.
  • Enable Processes the connection calculations of the terminal last. It checks each of the terminal potentials of the strip against those on any supplementary terminal strip found that is at the same level combination. For each potential match, it attempts to make the from/to calculation for that terminal to be a simple jumper assignment from the terminal strip's terminal up to the supplementary terminal strip. When a match is not found, the from/to calculation through the terminal strip operates in a normal fashion.

Pick

Selects the footprint representation on the drawing to copy the leveling code from.
