Create New Circuit Dialog Box

Find

 Command entry:  AEMENUWIZ

The icon name and circuit drawing name are saved in the active *.dat file (such as ACE_JIC_MENU.DAT) once you click OK on the Icon Menu Wizard dialog box. The icon then displays at the end of the existing icon images in the Symbol Preview window of the Insert Component dialog box.

Select the menu file to modify and click OK. In the Icon Menu Wizard dialog box click Add, and then select New Circuit.

You can also access this dialog box by right-clicking in the Symbol Preview window of the Icon Menu Wizard dialog box and selecting Add Icon New Circuit.

Tip: To determine which *.dat file is active, in the Project Properties dialog box, Project Settings tab, Library, and Icon Menu Paths section, expand the Schematic Icon Menu File option. It is the schematic icon menu file listed in the *.wdp file.

Icon Details

Defines the icon name and image.

Preview	Displays an image preview of the specified image file.
Name	Specifies the name to appear in the icon, the description text, and the tool tip for the icon.
Image file	Specifies the image file to use for the new icon. You can enter the image file name (or complete path) or select it using one of the following methods: Browse: Finds an existing image to use for the icon. You can browse for .sld or .png images. Pick: Selects an existing block name on the current drawing to use as the image file name. For example, if you select block HPB11, the image file name edit box displays “HPB11.” Active: (This method is unavailable if the drawing is a new drawing and has not been saved) Selects the active drawing name to use as the Image file. For example, if the active drawing name is “demo005,” then the image file edit box has “demo005” listed as the file name. The browsed image is copied to the User folder if wd_userckt_dir is disabled in the .env file. Note: The User folder can be overridden by the wd_userckt_dir defined folder if the environment code is enabled in the .env file. Enclose the image path in quotation marks if you do not want the image copied to the User folder. Save the complete path instead of the relative path in the .dat file. The entered image file name can be names like "PB1" or "CONTROL RELAY," file names with an extension such as “pb1.png,” or it can follow the syntax {slide_library or dll file (slide or .png)}. For example, "S2(pb)" or "S7(control_relay)." Note: The image file name cannot contain invalid characters such as \ / : " ? < > | and only .png and .sld image files are supported.
Create PNG from current screen image	Creates the .png image file from the current screen image. If the specified image file does not exist, this option is selected by default. If you do not want to create the icon from the displayed image of the current drawing, clear the check box. Note: This option is unavailable if you enter an image file name with the syntax {slide_library or dll file (slide or .png)}” For example, “S2(pb)” or “S7(control_relay)”. It is also unavailable if the Image File edit box contains the image file path instead of the image file name.
Zoom	(Available only when Create PNG from current screen image is selected) Zooms in on the current screen image using AutoCAD Zoom command. Once you exit Zoom mode and press Enter, the dialog box redisplays so you can finish defining the new icon.
Location	(This option appears once the Image file is specified) Indicates the full path of the image file location where the new images are created or the browsed images are copied to. If you entered a file name with the syntax {slide_library or dll file (slide or .png)} for the image file, the path of the .dat file or the WD_SLB folder displays here.

Circuit Drawing File

Defines the circuit file name that is created.

File Name	Specifies the file name for the circuit. Enter a drawing file name to use.
Location	Displays the complete path of the new drawing file that is created. The default user circuit folder is the User folder if the wd_usercktdir code is disabled in the environment file. If wd_usercktdir is enabled, the folder defined by this code is used as the user circuit folder.
