Displays Wire Size Lookup dialog box with previous calculated data for selected
motor or power feed load representation.

Toolbar: Main Electrical
Menu: Wires ➤ Recalculate Wire Size
Command entry: AEEDITWS
When Circuit Builder inserts a circuit, the parameters used to size the wires
are saved on the motor or load symbol as xdata. To recalculate the wire size,
select the motor or load symbol when prompted. The
Wire Size Lookup on
page 712 dialog box displays the existing values as defaults. Make design
decisions, adjusting parameters as needed, and select an appropriate wire size.
The wire layer name is updated to reflect the selected size.
NOTE If the xdata does not exist on the selected motor or load symbol, the Select
Motor or Select Load dialog box displays first.
Reference an existing circuit
When a new circuit is inserted, you can reference an existing circuit picked
from a list of circuits pulled from the active project. The components, values,
descriptions, and tag assignments from the selected circuit, become defaults
for the new circuit.
This feature can be especially useful when inserting 3-phase circuits based on
existing one-line circuits. The components for each circuit element for the
one-line circuit become the default for the new 3-phase circuit. The tag
assignments and values are pulled across from the referenced one-line circuit.
Alternately, new component tags are generated if the option “Retag new
component” is selected.
Referencing an existing circuit uses xdata (AutoCAD Extended Entity Data)
added on the motor or load symbol by Circuit Builder when the circuit is
inserted.
