You can select to insert a single panel footprint or multiple footprints from the equipment list.
Find
Command entry:
AEFOOTPRINTEQ
Select the spreadsheet file to use and click Open. Specify to use the default settings or previously saved settings and click OK.
Sort List
Sorts the list of components. You can specify four sorts to perform on the list.
Catalog Check
Performs a Bill of Material check and displays the result. Enabled if the selected panel component contains catalog data.
Footprint scale
Specifies the block insert scale. (1.0 = full)
Rotate
Specifies the block rotation angle. (blank = "ask")
External Program
Executes an external user routine to retrieve the footprint block name and catalog data. Requires the WD_XCAT reference in the wd.env and a user AutoLISP file to manage the data send/receive with the external routine.
Manual
Specifies to pick the panel footprint manually. The Panel Component dialog box displays, so you can define the footprint to use.
Insert
Finds and inserts footprint for the highlighted component. It is based on a match between the catalog part number of the footprint symbol and an entry in a schematic lookup file. If 0 matches are found, you are prompted to draw the footprint manually, add an entry in the lookup file, or select an existing footprint drawing file. If multiple components are selected in the list, the Spacing for Footprint Insertion dialog box displays. Define how to insert the first component of each device.
|
Use Footprint tables |
Accesses the standard footprint lookup table that matches the MFG code of the device. This table is set up to insert a full mechanical representation of the device. |
|
Use Wiring diagram tables |
Accesses an alternate table in the footprint lookup table. This table matches the MFG code but attaches an "_WD" suffix. The tables with the "_WD" suffix are set up to insert a symbol that carries the wire connection attributes. |
Convert Existing
Inserts selected data on an existing "dumb" block insert. It converts the block to a smart AutoCAD Electrical toolset footprint.
Pick File
Allows you to pick 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 database of the project.
