To Create a Schematic Line From an AutoCAD Line, Arc, or Polyline

You can create a schematic line from an AutoCAD® line, arc, or polyline.

  1. Draw an AutoCAD line, arc, or polyline.
  2. Right-click the object to convert, and click Convert to Schematic Line.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • Press Enter or enter n (no) to leave the layout geometry in the drawing.
    • Enter y (yes) to erase the layout geometry from the drawing.

    The software displays the Modify Schematic Lines dialog.

  4. In the Modify Schematic Lines dialog, specify a System, Style, and Designation ID.

    You can also specify these properties on the command line. Enter sy (system), enter st (style), or enter i (designation ID).

    Tip: To assign the properties of an existing schematic line to the converted schematic line, enter m (match), select an existing schematic line, specify what properties to match, and then press Enter.
