Insert schematic components from a list of panel components extracted from your panel drawings.
FindSelect Project and click OK. Select the files to process and click OK.
This presents a list of all panel components extracted from the project's panel layout drawings. As you pick an item from the pick list, the appropriate schematic symbol is found and inserted in the drawing at your pick point. After the selection of the schematic component and the annotation of the device tag, all panel-related information such as descriptions, installation, and location codes are copied to the schematic.
You can select to insert a single schematic component or multiple components from the panel list.
Sorts the list of panel components. You can specify four sorts to perform on the list.
Reopens the Panel Layout List Schematic Components Insert dialog box so you can re-extract data or select a saved external file to use.
Matches panel components extracted from the project database with schematic components previously placed into the drawing and marks any existing components. An "x" displays in left-hand column for any listed panel component tag that already has its schematic component inserted on the drawing and there is an exact match on catalog and manufacturer values between the two. An "o" displays if the tags match but there is mismatch on catalog and manufacturer values between the two.
Specifies to show all extracted panel data or hide the panel data that has a matching schematic component.
Performs a Bill of Material check and displays the result. This is enabled if the selected panel item contains catalog data.
Specifies whether to use the panel tag as is, or recalculate the schematic tag based on the tagging settings of the drawing. When a component that doesn't have a tag is selected from the list, this switch is automatically set to Use auto-generated schematic TAG.
Specifies the block insert scale. (1.0 = full) The drawing scale is used as the default.
Inserts the icon using a vertical or horizontal orientation. This value is opposite the default ladder rung orientation for the drawing.
Finds and inserts a schematic component for the highlighted panel component. The query of the schematic_lookup.mdb file returns one or more block names based on data that appears in the pick list. The results are displayed in the Insert dialog box along with a short description of each choice.
Picks a file for the insert. Select an existing AutoCAD Electrical toolset extracted panel component list file or extract a fresh copy of panel component data from the current project's database.
