Tip:Adding Xdata to library symbols prior to insertion
You can add the Xdata on the library symbol prior to inserting it. If a drawing
already contains that block, you must use the Update Block option prior to
running the report. Open the library symbol and use the Xdata Editor to add
Xdata directly onto the appropriate TERM## attribute. The following xdata
could be added at the library level:
■ Source - VIA_WD_PWR_SRC
■ Load - VIA_WD_PWR_LOAD
■ Unit - VIA_WD_PWR_UNIT
■ Potential - VIA_WD_POTENTIAL
Set power source/load value
This utility marks a component with a power source and load value. A related
routine, when invoked, then scans the wire interconnections and reports if
there is too much load on a given power source.
Access:
On the Power Check toolbar, click the Add/Edit Power Source/Load Levels tool.
Click Wires ➤ Wire Number Miscellaneous ➤ Power Check ➤ Add/Edit
Power Source/Load Levels.
Select the component for the power source or load value. The value is added
to an AutoCAD Electrical connection attribute. This dialog box contains a list
of available connection points. If you select near the connection point for the
power value it will be pre-selected in the dialog box. Enter the power source
and load value and an optional units value. These values will be saved on the
connection point as invisible xdata.
NOTE As you add these power source or load values, think of AutoCAD Electrical
tracing through these components to see what the load is on the power source.
Pick which terminal to add the value to accordingly.
