Command entry:
AECIRCBUILDER
|
Circuits |
The tree structure is created by reading the ACE_CIRCS sheet of the circuit builder spreadsheet and constructing the tree from the data found in columns CATEGORY and TYPE. The default spreadsheet file is ace_circuit_builder.xls.
The tree has two levels. The first level is the circuit category, for example 3-phase Motor Circuit. The second level is the circuit type, for example Horizontal - Full Voltage Non-reversing. |
|
History>> |
Expands the dialog box to show the history of configured and inserted circuits. |
|
History<< |
Collapses the dialog box to hide the history of configured and inserted circuits. |
|
History |
Select a previously inserted circuit, including all annotation values, to insert or configure. Select a circuit from this history list and then select Insert or Configure. Select Delete to remove the displayed circuit from the history listing.
Note:
This option is not available if Reference existing circuit is selected. |
|
Circuit Scale |
Sets an insertion scale value for the entire template. |
|
Component Scale |
Sets an insertion scale value for the individual components inserted while building the circuit. |
|
Horizontal Rung Spacing |
Sets the 3-phase horizontal rung spacing for the circuit. The ladder rung spacing for the drawing is the default value. |
|
Vertical Rung Spacing |
Sets the 3-phase vertical rung spacing for the circuit. The multi-wire spacing for the drawing is the default value. |
|
None |
Specifies to ignore special annotation options. |
|
Presets |
Specifies whether to use the preset annotation values from the circuit builder spreadsheet. |
|
Presets - List |
Displays the Annotation dialog box. Use this dialog box to specify which annotation values from the spreadsheet ANNO_CODE sheet to apply. |
|
Reference existing circuit |
Specifies whether to use annotation values from an existing circuit.
Note: This option is not available if the circuit is selected from the history list. Select <Default> from the History list to re-enable the Reference existing circuit option.
|
|
Reference existing circuit - List |
Displays the Existing Circuits dialog box showing the existing circuits found in the active project. Select a circuit from the list. The values from the selected circuit are applied to the new circuit. |
|
Retag new components |
When Reference existing circuit is selected, specifies whether to retag the components inserted as part of the new circuit. |
|
Insert |
Inserts the circuit with all default circuit elements and settings. |
|
Configure |
Opens the Circuit Configuration dialog box. Modify the options for the circuit and insert it. |
