Circuitry

This chapter provides information about working with collections of interconnected
components, or circuits. Circuits can be simple or complex, single or multiple, and with or
without interconnecting wiring. Reusing circuits can both speed up drawing creation and
reduce errors.

Moving an Existing Circuit

When you move a circuit, most of the parent components contained in the
circuit automatically retag since the drawing is set up for reference-based
component tagging. In the process of moving the circuit, you change the
reference locations of the moved components. Related child components update
to match the new parent tags, including references on other drawings in the
project.

NOTE

Tagging updates vary depending on your default tagging configurations.

Move the location of a circuit

1

In the Project Manager, Project Drawing List, double-click AEGS02.dwg.

2

Zoom in on the lower left corner of the drawing. Make sure the 3-phase
motor circuit at line reference 215 is visible.
