Project
■ Active project: All of the drawings in the current project are
scanned and the results are listed in a sub-dialog box. Select from
the list to assign your new conduit with a catalog number that
is consistent with other similar conduits in the project.
■ Other project: Scans each listed drawing in a previous project
for the target component type and returns the catalog information
in a sub-dialog box. Make your catalog assignment by picking
from the dialog box list.
■ External file: You can pull catalog assignments from a generic
ASCII file created by a word processor or output from a spread-
sheet or database program. A dialog box displays the contents
of the selected text file. Find and highlight the desired entry.
AutoCAD Electrical reads the line of text from the file and breaks
it into its component parts. They are displayed in the left-hand
dialog box list. For each relevant item, highlight it and then pick
the appropriate category button in the center column. The
highlighted item transfers to the corresponding category (and
then to the Insert/Edit dialog box once OK is clicked).
