Conduit Tag

AutoCAD Electrical selects a default conduit tag which can be overridden at any time. Click Drawing to use a tag used for similar conduits in the active drawing or click Project to use a tag used for similar conduits in the project. See Conduit Marker Setup to define the default format for the conduit tags.

Size

The conduit size can be selected from the list of available sizes or entered in the box. To make it a little easier, AutoCAD Electrical can calculate the percentage full for each conduit size available. To do this AutoCAD Electrical needs 2 support files containing wire size information and conduit size information. If there is not a .WW1 file or if the wire sizes are not in the file, the calculations are not made.

Catalog Area

Assign catalog information to the conduit that will be extracted into a bill of materials report. You can do a drawing-wide or project-wide listing of similar conduits with their catalog assignments.

Manufacturer	Lists the manufacturer number for the component. Enter a value or click Lookup and select one from the Catalog Browser.
Catalog	Lists the catalog number for the component. Enter a value or click Lookup and select one from the Catalog Browser.
Assembly	Lists the assembly code for the component. The Assembly code is used to link multiple part numbers together.
Item	Lists the item number for the component. Components with the same catalog receive the same item number.
Find	Scans each drawing for the target conduit type and returns a list of what was found. You can make your catalog assignment by selecting from the list.
Lookup	Opens the Catalog Browser from which you select the catalog value. Search the database for a specific catalog item to assign to the selected component.
Previous	Scans the previous project to find an instance of the selected conduit and returns the conduit values. You can then make your catalog assignment by picking from the dialog box list.
Drawing	Lists the part numbers used for similar conduits in the current drawing.
Project	Lists the part numbers used for similar components in the project. You can search in the active project, another project, or an external file. Active project: All the drawings in the current project are scanned and the results are listed in a dialog box. Other project: All the drawings in a selected project are scanned and the results are listed in a dialog box. External file: Select from a list of catalog assignments contained in a text file. Assign a value to the appropriate category.
Multiple Catalog	Inserts or edits extra catalog part numbers for the selected component. These multiple BOM part numbers appear as subassembly part numbers to the main catalog part number in the various BOM reports.
Catalog Check	Displays what the selected item looks like in a Bill of Material template.
