Description

Edit Footprint

AEEDITFOOTPRINT

Edits panel footprint or terminal. Converts selected block if it is not AutoCAD Electrical toolset compatible. In some cases, a footprint update may be required due to manufacturer, catalog or assembly value changes. When asked whether to manually force a footprint change, click No to leave the existing footprint block as is or click Yes to set up a footprint lookup database file or manually draw a simple footprint representation.

Copy Footprint

AECOPYFOOTPRINT

Copies selected panel footprint on active drawing. Use the Copy Footprint tool instead of AutoCAD Copy when a panel component footprint has a balloon or a nameplate associated to it. Since AutoCAD Electrical toolset establishes invisible Xdata pointers when these are tied to a footprint, they are properly updated when copied using this utility.

Resequence Item Numbers

AERESEQUENCE

Assigns or resequences item number assignments on a drawing or project. This extracts all panel components and nameplates and resequences their item numbers starting at the value you provide. Resequencing is based on the main MFG/CAT/ASSYCODE value combination. Additional multi-catalog numbers on a specific component are ignored. Only the main part number combination is used to group similar components together under a common item number.

Delete Footprint

AEERASECOMP

Removes the selected footprint from the drawing. You have the option to search for related components, surf to them, and delete them.
