Previous project's schematic spreadsheet data
If your new project is similar to a previous project, you can use the previous
project's schematics to create a component or terminal spreadsheet listing.
This can then help drive the new project's panel layout.
Open the previous project in AutoCAD Electrical. From the Panel Layout
menu, select Insert Footprint (Schematic List) or Insert Terminal (Schematic
List). On the selection dialog, check the Save List to External File option and
then extract from the project. AutoCAD Electrical creates a comma-delimited
file of the schematic data. You can then display this data in spreadsheet format
(open it in comma-delimited "CSV" format), edit, and then save back out.
Now follow the procedure described for picking and inserting the panel
component or terminal footprints from the spreadsheet driven pick list.

This report provides error checking between the schematic terminals and
panel layout terminals. The program looks at the selected terminals, both
schematic and panel, looking for a match in the project. For each schematic
terminal selected, it tries to find a matching panel terminal based on tag,
location, and installation information. If a match is found, then it compares
catalog information, and description information, looking for any
discrepancies. The program then looks at each selected panel terminal looking
for a matching schematic terminal in the same way.
Access:
Click the arrow on the Insert Footprint tool to access the Insert Terminal
(Schematic List) tool.
From the Panel Layout menu, select Insert Terminal (Schematic List).
If you start with panel layouts before you create schematics, schematic pick
list data is not available to automate footprint selection and annotation. If
you list your panel components in a spreadsheet and in a format that AutoCAD
