Insert from panel lists
Let your project set of panel layout drawings help drive the schematic wiring
diagrams. AutoCAD Electrical finds a match for the panel footprint in the
schematic lookup database on page 780 to determine the correct schematic
symbol to insert.
If a copy of the panel data is not in memory, then AutoCAD Electrical prompts
you to select which panel data you want to extract. Make your selection in
the dialog box and click OK. A list of all panel footprints is extracted. Select
from the panel list and place the schematic symbol on the wiring diagram.
