To Specify Design Rules for Panel Styles

The design rules of a panel style specify the method of wire cleanup used for panels of the style.

Note: You can change the layers on which panels are placed when they are added to drawings by remapping their layers using Layer Manager. For more information, see in AutoCAD MEP 2024 toolset Help.

To specify the design rules of a panel style

1. Open the drawing that contains the panel style.
2. From the Electrical workspace, open the panel style by doing one of the following:
   • Click Manage tab Style & Display panel Style Manager . In the left pane of the Style Manager, expand Electrical Objects, then expand Panel Styles, and select the style.
   • In the drawing, select a panel that uses the style and click Panel tab General panel Edit Style drop-down Edit Style .
3. Click the Design Rules tab.
   

4. For Wire Cleanup, select a wire cleanup method.

   This selection determines how wires are displayed when connected to panels. The preview image on the right provides an example of the current selection.
