Technical What’s New
Motor Control of One-Line Circuits
Use the new one-line symbol library to create
intelli¬gent motor control one-line diagrams that link
back to other drawing types in a project drawing set.
Access the library from the icon menu to build one-line
circuits with component values and wire sizes that
conform to a specific electrical code.
One-line component symbols can be related to parent/
child counterparts on sche¬matic and panel layout
drawings. Switch between one-line and all related
components; when a component is modified, all related
components update automatically.
You can also tag schematic or panel components, using
existing commands to reference a pick list that includes
components pulled from your one-line diagrams.
AutoCAD Electrical also includes new reporting
functionality that lets you select whether a report
contains one-line, schematic, hydrault, pneumatic, or
P&ID components.
No Wire Numbering for Wire Layers
Wire layers now have a “no wire” numbering option.
These wires behave normally for inserting, breaking,
and scooting components, and show up in the From/
To report. They do not receive wire numbers during the
Insert Wire Numbers process.
Electrical Audit
View electrical audit results for just your active
drawing. Simply run an Electrical Audit, then click
the Active Drawing button to display issues for that
drawing. Open another drawing, and the display
updates to show only results for the newly opened
drawing.
Help Updates
Reference topics that show command access have
been updated to include command line and ribbon
access. Change the location of a command, and ribbon
and menu access for that command is automatically
updated in the online Help system. (Note: This dynamic
update works only when you use online Help within
AutoCAD Electrical.)
