After:(c:ace_cb_set_wiretype #data 1 nil “_WIRETYPE=BRN_10AWG”)
NOTE See the API documentation for more information.
6 Save the spreadsheet.
Based on motor size selection
You can apply the minimum wire size for a selected motor load to the wire
type layer name. The value, which is extracted from the
ace_electrical_standards.mdb database, can be substituted for any “@WSIZE@”
string found in the “_WIRETYPE=” value. Use this variable in the MISC1
attribute on the wire marker block or in the spreadsheet as part of the wire
type API call.
Marker block method
1 Open the circuit template drawing that contains the marker block for
the wire.
2 Find the correct marker block for the wire.
3 Edit its MISC1 attribute value using the format “_WIRETYPE=@WSIZE@”,
for example, “_WIRETYPE=BRN_@WSIZE@”.
NOTE The MISC1 attribute value can contain multiple special text flags which
direct Circuit Builder to handle the component or underlying wire in a special
way. When you add new values, do not overwrite any other special flag values.
Separate each one with a semicolon.
4 Save the circuit template drawing.
Spreadsheet method
1 Open the Circuit Builder spreadsheet, ace_circuit_builder.xls.
2 Find the circuit CATEGORY and TYPE, for example CATEGORY: 3ph
Motor Circuit and TYPE: Horizontal - FVNR - non reversing.
3 Open the circuit code sheet with the same name as the SHEET_NAME
value, for example SHEET_NAME: 3ph_H.
4 Find the specific wire, for example CODE: WT01, and COMMENTS: Assign
motor wire type - phase 1.
