You modify the properties of panels using the Properties palette.
- Select the panels.
- If you want to replace the panels with those of a different style, on the Properties palette, select a panel style by doing one of the following:
If you want to select a style… then… in the current drawing on the Properties palette, expand Basic, expand General, and for Style, select the style. in a drawing in the directory specified as the default content location for electrical panels on the General bar, click 
. In the left pane of the Select Panel worksheet, navigate to the drawing that contains the style, and select the drawing. In the right pane, select the style.
- Modify other general properties as needed:
If you want to change… then… the description for Description, click , enter a description, and click OK.
the layer on which the panels are placed for Layer, select a different layer. You can select from the layers in the current drawing. - Expand Location, and modify the location properties as needed:
If you want to change… then… the rotation for Rotation, enter a new angle. Note: You can also use Alignment grips to align the panel perpendicular to other floor plan geometry, such as a wall.the elevation for Preset elevation, select a defined elevation, or for Elevation, enter an elevation. The difference in the elevation of the devices, the wires, and the panel for a circuit is used to calculate the circuit length. Note that the circuit length can only be calculated if the panel and all of the devices on the circuit are in the current drawing.
the insertion point or normal. (The normal is the extrusion direction that is used when elevation is applied to the model view.) click Additional information. On the Location worksheet, enter the coordinates for the insertion point or normal, and click OK.
Note: You can also use Alignment grips to move the panel. - If necessary, expand Advanced, expand System, and for System, select a new system.
- Expand Design Data, and modify the design data properties as needed:
If you want to change… then… the panel name for Name, enter a unique name. the panel rating for Rating, enter a new rating. the number of slots for Slots, enter a new number. Note: Do not assign more circuits to a panel than allowed for by the number of slots. If a panel has more circuits than slots, some of the circuits cannot be included in the panel schedule. When you create a schedule, the software warns you if this situation exists.the voltage for Voltage, enter a new voltage. the phase for Phases, select 1 or 3. Note: The selection of phases can only be made before placing the panel onto the drawing space. Once a panel has been inserted, the phase properties become read-only.the wire for Wire, select 3 or 4. Note: Wire selection of 3 or 4 is only available for Phase 3 panels.Note: The rating and voltage of a panel do not affect how the software functions. However, they are made available as automatic properties. - Press Esc.
Note: Anytime you modify panels, you will need to update any existing panel schedules. See Updating Panel Schedules
If you are using this drawing as an electrical project database, and you modify properties for a panel whose circuits are used in linked drawings, you are prompted to open and save the affected drawings when you save the electrical project database.
