Insert a single-phase ladder

Add a ladder with a defined width, number of rungs, and first rung reference number.

You can insert a ladder into a drawing at any time. A drawing can have multiple ladders, as well as single-phase and three-phase ladders. The ladders can have different parameters, such as rung spacing, number of rungs, and ladder width.
