Let your project set of schematic wiring diagrams help drive the panel layout.
Component catalog number information comes directly from manufacturer
and catalog data carried on each electrical component. AutoCAD Electrical
finds a match for the manufacturer and catalog number combination to
determine the correct footprint block to insert.
If a copy of the schematic data is not in memory, then AutoCAD Electrical
prompts you to select which schematic data you want to extract. Make your
selection in the dialog box and click OK. A list of all parent components is
extracted from the project's schematic wiring diagrams. Select from the
schematic list and place the equivalent footprint on the layout. AutoCAD
Electrical determines the equivalent footprint block from the footprint look-up
file.

For items that might not be included on the schematics, you have 2 options
for insertion:
■ Pick the item from a vendor icon menu that is preset with specific catalog
number data and footprint block names. Choosing from this menu supplies
AutoCAD Electrical with the manufacturer and catalog information and
the footprint block name, bypassing any look-up.
■ Pick a general component category from a generic icon menu (such as
pilot lights).
