Modular and industrial electrical devices

The Modular and industrial electrical devices command contains many types of connection apparatus, protection and other components used in electrical projects. For all apparatus both views used when designing switchgears and when symbols on schemes are applied. In case of inserting apparatus views it is possible to create a list of objects to insert, which is also used to simultaneously insert many objects to the drawing.
If user inserts symbols, he should use all policies and procedures described in the IEC and NFPA Symbols chapter.

After inserting apparatus view it is possible to use the Create alternative view command in order to obtain in a convenient way symbols for each apparatus. It is also possible to obtain apparatus views on the basis of previously inserted symbols. Using this command user can quickly create a scheme based on the switchgear view or vice versa.

The method of working with object has been described in previous chapters.
