Very well and in detail explained. Worked on AutoCAD Electrical for 4 years but some of the things I learnt today to reduce the extra work. Thank you so much !!
When setting up a new component; can one cause the wire type and color to happen automatically. Example: When connecting wires to the potentiometer, autocad would look at the component and know what the wire color and size would be, as a result when connecting to the component the wire attributes would set automatically.
AS far as I know, there is not a way to automate the wire type from the component. It is not a bad idea so I would suggest adding this to the Autodesk Ideas Page. Here is a link for this: forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-electrical-ideas/idb-p/37
Thankyou so much. The only problem I'm facing is with catalog file location as we are dealing with remote drive. Could you suggest a way to reach you pls.
how do I modify the panel footprint lookup path from the default to a network drive for example. so that everyone in the company can share the same footprint lookup mdb file?
I noticed n the file path for the image, yours populates with your "special" location. What field, in what file was used to lock that down to a directory other than the default?
This is covered in another webinar called AutoCAD Electrical: Working With Projects. Here is a link to it: ruclips.net/video/2f6YDcS1j2c/видео.html Your question is covered in detail about 13:39-29:44
If it’s a specific manufacturer and catalog number that always has this issue then I would suspect that you have duplicate entry’s in one of the two catalogs. Possibly someone started adding the entry and didn’t complete it correctly and then entered it a second time correctly, but it finds the uncompleted first entry with no description first. That would be my first guess based on what you describe.
Dear sir, I have an one doubt...how to add attribute template & other template in newly user created library file..I add new panel footprints library in properties..but that file not contain any template...how to i add template in newly created footprint library....please explain sir
I’m sorry for the delay in responding. The answer to your question is covered in the video at 20:13 thru 27:23. Templates must follow the naming convention shown in the video and they must be in a path defined in the project. The video will take you step by step thru that entire process.
@@robertojoa21 When you install you have to select the manufacturers that you want to include. You can use update/change in the programs and features to add additional manufactures after the install, but you can’t use the deault installation. You have to use the detailed installation.
@@Hagerman what I want to mean is for example , I want terminal block from Automationdirect but is showing. Just are showing Siemens and AB I already installed automationdirect manufacture. I hope do you understand me.
@@robertojoa21 AutomationDirect terminal blocks are installed with the software. There is no guarantee that every model by the manufacturer is in the database so if it's just a particular model you can’t locate, then you need to add that one as a custom terminal block. If it is more than that then I would suggest you contact Hagerman Support and open a case where someone can take a look at your issue specifically. This is not something I can help you with via comments since it is not a normal issue.

Glad it helped!
Excellent info on ACADE! Great explanations on how this works & it's easy to follow. Thank you!!
Thank you for this. Just started using Autocad Electrical at work. This was valuable information. Thank you :)
Thank you so much for this! You tell it so well. Keep up the good work ;)
Best regards

Why does it go up to 11? Why not just use 10 and make 10 louder? (Also, better than Autodesk's help articles regarding custom symbols and footprints.)
:-) These go to 11

HOW DO YOU HAVE AUTOMATIONDIRECT CATALOGUE?
When you install the software, AutomationDirect is one of the manufacturer’s that you can install.
