Schematic spreadsheet data of previous project
If your new project is like a previous project, you can use the schematics of
the previous project to create a component or terminal spreadsheet listing. It
can then help drive the new panel layout of the project.
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 box, 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.
Insert panel footprints from a schematic list
1 Insert a schematic symbol in a drawing. In the Insert/Edit Component
dialog box, assign Component Tag, Manufacturer, and Catalog values
and click OK.
2 Save the drawing and navigate to the drawing you want to add a panel
footprint to.
3 Click Panel tab ➤ Insert Component Footprints panel ➤ Insert
Footprints drop-down ➤ Schematic List.
4 In the Schematic Components List ➤ Panel Layout Insert dialog box,
select Project and click OK.
