About Using Circuits

You can create and store circuits in the same drawing as the panel to which they are assigned. Using the electrical project database, you can assign devices—such as lights or receptacles—to circuits in the electrical project database. Then you can share current circuit information across all electrical drawings in a project.

BestPractice: Before creating circuits, create electrical system and load category definitions, and configure electrical preferences. Then, you can take better advantage of the circuit feature, reducing the number of details you must specify when adding circuits.
