8 Respond to the prompts as follows:
Specify insertion point:
Position the component on the wire at line reference 403 near the neutral wire
and click (1)
If you select directly on the wire or near to it, the coil symbol breaks the
underlying ladder wire and reconnects. If the underlying wire did not
break, you did not select close enough to the wire. To try again, click
Cancel on the Insert/Edit Component dialog box. Right-click or press
ENTER to repeat the command. Turning on Snap helps (0.125 is a good
setting to use).
This tool inserts components into alignment with underlying wires, it
does not align components side-to-side. If you want to insert components
in neat columns, you have three options: use AutoCAD Snap when
inserting components; use the Scoot command to move components and
connected wires in place; or use the Align Component tool.
9 In the Insert/Edit Component dialog box, verify that the Component
Tag is set to CR403.
AutoCAD Electrical automatically determines the unique tag name for
the new relay based on the line reference location that you inserted the
symbol on. “CR” indicates that it is a control relay and “403” indicates
that the symbol is on line reference 403. If you inserted this symbol on
line reference 404 then the tag name would be “CR404.”
You can assign a catalog number to the component that can be extracted
into reports. There are two pieces of BOM catalog information:
manufacturer code and catalog number. These values are carried as
invisible attributes on the symbol. You can type in values for each or
select the BOM information from an on-line catalog database file.
10 In the Catalog Data section, click Lookup.
11 On the Parts Catalog dialog box, click
to clear all predefined
filters. Click Yes to confirm.
12 On the Parts Catalog dialog box each column has an edit field to enter
