AutoCAD Electrical inserts the symbols based upon the rung spacing of the underlying ladder, explodes them, draws a rectangular box around the entire assembly, creates a single block out of the collection, and annotates the attributes of the new module. AutoCAD Electrical selects the appropriate symbols to use, stacks them together in the order defined by the parametric data file, and produces a completed I/O module. If you search Help criteria Generate PLC Layout Modules or Insert a Parametric PLC Module you will run across fun stuff like this:Įach Parametric PLC symbol is a building block with a different arrangement of attributes and wire connection points. First challenge will be to figure out which blocks you need to modify. The terminal tag is assigned.I hope someone has a better answer for you but the last time I tried to do what you are describing I ended up redoing my drawing setup for the parametric I/O modules to fit rather than changing the modules. If you place the terminal on an existing wire, the wire breaks.
(Optional) Select Yes to insert the symbol on the drawing and select a location.Select Close Block Editor from the block editor toolbar.(Optional) Click Details to see the Symbol Audit dialog box listing potential issues with your symbol.(Optional) If you are going to add the symbol to the icon menu at a later time using the Icon Menu Wizard, check Icon image.This is defined by the WDTYPE attribute value of “1-” on the symbol, or a “1-1” on a one-line bus-tap symbol. However, the symbol name does not define the symbol as a one-line symbol. For convenience the one-line symbols provided have a “1-” suffix. One-line symbols follow the same naming convention as schematic parent and child symbols. Avoid changing the first four letters of the file name and limit the total length to 32 characters.
AutoCAD Electrical provides a default name for the new symbol based on the attribute template selected. Enter the Name and file path or keep the default.dwg file, while Block creates the symbol for this drawing file only. Click Base Point: Pick point and select the center of the rectangle.
