Placing distribution amplifiers

2.From the Tool bar, select the make and model, starting number, and number of outputs (up to the maximum for the selected model).

If you continue placing the same distribution amplifier, the number automatically increments.

3.Click to place the distribution amplifier into the drawing. If placing the device into an existing circuit, the device splits the circuit.

● In Linear Array mode, click once to start the array; move the cursor to set the distance and direction of the linear array. Press the Shift key to constrain to the horizontal or vertical direction. The preview indicates the spacing and placement of the objects; the floating Data bar shows the Count. Click to place them.
