Settings Dialog Box (Insert Component from Equipment List)

Defines the format of the equipment list.

This spreadsheet organizes the selected user-created equipment list and presents the list in a pick list. As you pick an item from the pick list, the appropriate schematic symbol is found and inserted in the drawing at your pick point. Your equipment list can be an AutoCAD Electrical toolset-generated Component report, or it can be a list of motors giving horsepower and starter type along with motor ID and descriptions.

Note: You can open a comma-delimited file, Excel spreadsheet, or Access database file for input.
