Electrical Add Rung command or the Insert Wire tool. Select Yes to include
a rung automatically at every reference location (skip = 0) or every other
line reference position (skip = 1). You can specify whether to skip rungs;
specifying a value of Skip = 4 means that four rungs are skipped for every
one that is drawn.
6 Click OK.
7 Specify the start position of the ladder. Enter a start and end value or
pick a point on the drawing.
During ladder insertion, the current wire type displays at the command
prompt. You can override it by typing in the hotkey "T" and selecting a
new wire type from the Set Wire Type dialog box. The new wire type
becomes the current wire type and the command continues with the
ladder insertion.
8 Specify the last reference number for the ladder. If you entered values in
the step above, this step is not necessary.
9 Click to insert the ladder.
NOTE Use AutoCAD Move to relocate an entire ladder. Make sure you that get
the entire ladder including the first line reference number (the MLR block insert).
Select the Revise Ladder button and then click Cancel on the dialog box. Using
this command forces AutoCAD Electrical to reread and update its internal ladder
location list.
