To Customize the Electric Explorer

You can control the number of features to store in the Last Used list, the time to pause when inserting ducts and conductors across multiple cross sections, the order of the containers, and feature attributes displayed in the container.

You can specify:

• The number of Last Used features to save per container as you work.
• Whether or not the feature class form should display automatically after you create a new feature.
• The time to pause when inserting ducts or conductors across multiple cross sections. You can set this time to zero to approve all the snap points and insert the ducts or conductors at once.
• The containers to display for each profile and in what order.
• Which attributes are visible in the containers and in what order.
