Circuit codes sheet
Once a circuit is selected from the Circuit Selection dialog box (the CATEGORY
and TYPE fields from the ACE_CIRC sheet), the associated circuit template
drawing, with the marker blocks, is inserted (the DWG_TEMPLATE field). A
related circuit code sheet is ready for reference (the SHEET_NAME field). Each
marker block contains a CODE attribute with a value. This CODE value is used
to match up with a section in the circuit code sheet which defines what to do
at the location of this marker block in the template.
You can create a sheet or copy an existing, similar sheet. Since the circuit
template drawing was copied from ace_cb1_FVNR_H.dwg, it is easier to copy
the circuit codes sheet, 3ph_H, and modify it.
1 Open ace_circuit_builder.xls for edit using a spreadsheet software. See
Circuit Builder spreadsheet overview on page ? for the location of this
file.
2 Copy the 3ph_H sheet and rename it 3ph_H_custom as referenced in the
ACE_CIRCS sheet.
The changes in the circuit codes sheet must correspond to the changes made
to the marker blocks in the circuit template drawing. You can delete the lines
in the sheet that match the code values from the marker blocks you deleted,
XF01 and KVAR1. If you decide not to delete them from this sheet, it is not
a problem. These lines are ignored and not displayed on the Circuit
Configuration dialog box if the corresponding marker blocks are not found.
3 Locate the CODE value XF01.
4 Delete all the spreadsheet rows to the point where the next non-blank
CODE value begins, such as XF02.
5 Repeat for CODE value KVAR1.
Add a section for the new marker block you added with a CODE value of
USR001. Add this new section at the bottom of the sheet after the last
non-blank row.
6 Enter USR001 in the CODE field in the blank row.
7 Enter Extra Component in the COMMENT field.
It is displayed in the left-hand Circuit Elements section of the Circuit
Configuration dialog box and is used for selection.
8 Enter Component in the UI_TITLE field.
