Change rung spacing
1 Click the arrow on the Insert Ladder tool to access the Revise
Ladder tool.
2 Click the Revise Ladder tool.
3 Change the column of line reference numbers to the desired
rung spacing and ladder length.
4 Select Components ➤ Scoot (or the AutoCAD Stretch com-
mand) to move the existing rungs to their new rung locations.
Insert rungs
AutoCAD Electrical finds the nearest line reference location and places a ladder
rung at that reference position (both bus wires must be visible on the screen
for this to work).
1 Click the Add Rung tool.
2 Select a blank space anywhere between the hot and neutral
bus wires to add the rung.
During rung insertion, the current wire type displays at the
command prompt. You can override this by typing in the
hotkey "T" and selecting a new wire type from the Set/Edit
Wire Type dialog box. The new wire type becomes the current
wire type and the command continues with the rung insertion.
If the new rung encounters a schematic device floating in
space, it tries to break the wire across the device.
Convert line reference numbers
Use this to convert the upper-most line reference number on a non-intelligent
