External Program
Executes an external user routine to retrieve the footprint block name and
catalog data. Requires the WD_XCAT reference in the wd.env and a user
AutoLISP file to manage the data send/receive with the external routine.
Manual
Specifies to pick the panel footprint manually. The Panel Component dialog
box displays, so you can define the footprint to use.
Insert
Finds and inserts footprint for the highlighted component. It is based on a
match between the catalog part number of the footprint symbol and an entry
in a schematic lookup file. If 0 matches are found, you are prompted to draw
the footprint manually, add an entry in the lookup file, or select an existing
footprint drawing file. If multiple components are selected in the list, the
Spacing for Footprint Insertion dialog box displays. Define how to insert the
first component of each device.
Accesses the standard footprint lookup table that matches
the MFG code of the device. This table is set up to insert a
full mechanical representation of the device.
Use Footprint tables
Accesses an alternate table in the footprint lookup table.
This table matches the MFG code but attaches an "_WD"
Use Wiring diagram tables
suffix. The tables with the "_WD" suffix are set up to insert
a symbol that carries the wire connection attributes.
Convert Existing
Inserts selected data on an existing "dumb" block insert. It converts the block
to a smart AutoCAD Electrical footprint.
Pick File
Allows you to pick a file for the insert. Select an existing AutoCAD Electrical
extracted panel component list file or extract a fresh copy of panel component
data from the current database of the project.
Settings
This spreadsheet organizes the selected user-created equipment list and presents
the list in a pick list. As you pick an item from the pick list, the appropriate
schematic symbol is found and inserted in the drawing at your pick point.
