Insert Footprint (Equipment List)
This tool lists data extracted from your equipment list, finds the appropriate
panel symbol by querying the footprint_lookup.mdb, and inserts the panel
footprints at your pick point. Each line or record in the equipment list
represents a single entry into the Equipment in dialog box for schematic
component selection. The quantity for a selected catalog number is not
supported.
Insert panel footprints from a schematic list
When you insert a panel footprint from a list of the schematic components,
if the MFG and CAT values match, it displays the WD_AB icon menu. When
the icon menu displays, make your specific footprint block selection. Your
menu pick provides AutoCAD Electrical with the footprint block name to use
for the target MFG/CAT combination. You can set up multiple
orientations/configurations of a single footprint, all tied to the same MFG/CAT
part number match in the footprint lookup table. Pick the
orientation/configuration of the footprint you want to use, and insert it into
the layout drawing.
1 Create a schematic symbol with a TAG1 attribute.
2 Place the symbol in a drawing. In the Insert/Edit Component
dialog box, give the TAG attribute a value, and click OK.
3 Save the drawing and navigate to the drawing you want to
add a panel footprint to.
