Electrical and communication objects
Electrical and communication objects are available from the MEP tool set and in specific object libraries. These objects are accessed through the Resource Manager, and consist of hybrid 2D/3D representations of common electrical devices. The symbols already have the correct records attached for proper circuiting.
It is also possible to create custom electrical symbols, panels and disconnects; attaching the correct record to these symbols makes them circuitable. See Creating custom electrical and communication symbols for information.
Naming panels
When inserting panels (electrical or communication) from object libraries, give each panel its own name so that it can be uniquely identified by the Circuiting tool.
To identify an inserted panel with a unique name:
Insert the panel from the Resource Manager.
With the panel still selected, click the Data tab from the Object Info palette.
From the Record Formats list, select the Panel Record. The fields associated with the record display below the Detach Record button.
Enter a unique panel name in the Name field.
