Circuit Builder: To Control the Multi-pole Insertion Direction

The default build direction for a multi-pole component is down for horizontal bus wires, and left to right for vertical bus wires. You can override the default build direction.

  1. Open the circuit template drawing that contains the marker block for the multi-pole component.
  2. Find the correct marker block for the component.
  3. Edit its MISC1 attribute value using the format “_D={digit}”, where 1=build left to right, 2=build up, 4=build right to left, and 8=build down.

    For example, if the template has a vertical 3-phase bus and the disconnection means that marker block is located over the right-hand wire, give its MISC1 attribute a value of "_D=4". It causes the child poles of the multi-pole insert to move to the left to pick up the remaining two bus wires.

    Note: The MISC1 attribute value can contain multiple special text flags which direct Circuit Builder to handle the component or underlying wire in a special way. When you add new values, do not overwrite any other special flag values. Separate each one with a semicolon.
  4. Save the circuit template drawing.
