You can also select it from the Type it or Browse options in the bottom left-hand corner of the icon menu.ĪutoCAD Electrical toolset expects certain attributes for each symbol type, schematic parent, schematic child, and so on. You can add your new symbol to the icon menu. New symbols you create are inserted with the AutoCAD Electrical toolset Insert Component or Insert Panel Component commands. Selecting the objects allows the tool to track what standard attributes and wire connection points you already inserted.
Each time you re-enter the Symbol Builder tool, select objects from within the Select Symbol/Objects dialog box. The AutoCAD Wblock command writes it to disk. You can also exit the command and use regular AutoCAD commands to edit or finish the symbol you are creating. You can exit the Symbol Builder command and re-enter it at any time. They break wires upon insertion, and appear in the bill of material and various component and wire connection reports. Symbols created or converted using Symbol Builder are fully compatible with AutoCAD Electrical toolset. You can convert symbols or create custom components on the fly. Follow the rest of the instructions.Defines new AutoCAD Electrical toolset component, terminal, and panel layout library symbols. After selecting the block make sure directory is pointing to iec library folder (was nfpa). If you insert same symbol on the same drawing, you may need to swap the blocks (preciously you had issue with) using command AESWAPBLOCK, select option B.Replace NPFA with IEC as shown below (marked in RED), then save and close.Open WD.ENV (in notepad) which is in the AeData folder (along with the Proj and Tutorial folders).Are they IEC or NFPA (I guess they are NFPA)? Click + of the Schematic Libraries to find out the default symbol libraries.In the Project Settings tab click Schematic Libraries then click Default. Check your project properties: right click project> properties.Check your project Settings: right click project>Settings, in the lower window you can see what symbol libraries are used – IEC or NFPA?.
What is happening here is your project is IEC standard project ie it supposed to symbols from IEC library folder whereas ACADE is defaulted to NFPA standard ie WD.ENV file is telling ACADE to use NFPA Symbols instead.
