Create an AutoCAD Electrical toolset compatible library symbol.

You might find a friendly free screen capture software that has some handy tools for download from a place like CNET. The 'pieces' for building parametric PLC 'parts' live down in here also but we can talk about that tomorrow.ĭoes that help or did I misunderstand your question? So you would draw the graphic then when you add a attribute ACE uses the 'pieces' to add wire terminations, label tags, mfg name, etc so a combination of these 'pieces' build a 'smart' symbol. The full 'part' can be called on to insert a component but the 'pieces' are called on when you are building a 'part'. When I say 'pieces' it might be 'BBSTTN032' which is a attribute definition for a wire termination. When I say 'parts' it might be HPB11 which is a complete pushbutton with fully defined attributes and ready to be dropped into a schematic. The parts and pieces have specific scale for JIC125 (IEC will be different size but standardized), text size and style, color assignment etc.

What you are look at is the JIC125 library. Let me see if I understand your question.
