Command entry:
AETERMINALPNL Select Project and click OK. Select the files to process and click OK.
This presents a list of all panel terminals extracted from the project's panel layout drawings. As you pick an item from the pick list, the appropriate schematic terminal is found and inserted in the drawing at your pick point. After the selection of the schematic terminal and the annotation of the device tag, all panel-related information such as descriptions, installation, and location codes are copied to the schematic.
You can select to insert a single terminal block or multiple terminal blocks from the panel list.
- Sort List
- Sorts the list of panel terminals. You can specify four sorts to perform on the list.
- Reload
- Reopens the Panel Terminal List
Schematic Terminals Insert dialog box so you can re-extract data or select a saved external file to use.
- Mark Existing
- Matches schematic components extracted from the project database with panel terminal components and marks any existing components. An "x" displays in left-hand column for any listed panel component tag that already has its schematic inserted on the drawing and there is an exact match on catalog and manufacturer values between the two. An "o" displays if the tags match but there is mismatch on catalog and manufacturer values between the two.
- Display
- Specifies to show all extracted panel data or hide the panel data that has a matching schematic component.
- Catalog Check
- Performs a Bill of Material check and displays the result. This is enabled if the selected panel terminal contains catalog data.
- Last symbol used
- Displays the last symbol selected through the insert process. You can clear the selection and go back through the insert process to select the schematic terminal symbol or you can automatically insert the last symbol used by not making any changes.
- Scale
- Specifies the block insert scale. (1.0 = full)
- Vertical/Horizontal
- Inserts the icon using a vertical or horizontal orientation. This value is opposite the default ladder rung orientation for the drawing.
- Insert
- Finds and inserts a schematic terminal for the highlighted panel terminal. A query of the schematic_lookup.mdb file returns one or more block names based on data that appears in the pick list. The results are displayed in the Insert dialog box along with a short description of each choice.
- Pick File
- Specifies to pick a file for the insert. Select an existing AutoCAD Electrical toolset extracted panel terminal list file or extract a fresh copy of panel component data from the current project's database.
