The Inserting Symbols tutorial (at 0:40) we mentioned earlier shows this.
Yes, as long as its on the same axis, and the Stretch Connections button under the Home tab is on. In the beta version (which we can give you access to if you like), you can copy/paste entire columns of cells. No, but you can copy/paste cells from Excel directly into the property cells of your locations. The Inserting Connections and Inserting Symbols tutorials will help you get started with that. This is what we would call a schematic, and would indeed be very helpful to any visiting electrician.
We don't see any reason why Sk圜AD would not suit your needs for this project.Īmong the documents I plan to place in each electrical panel I'd like a flow-chart-style line-art representation of the wiring, so that a visiting electrician can find a cable or device box in a table and then see the entire branch circuit represented graphically. Thanks for posting on the forum and detailed information. Is there any way to get connections to stay attached to device terminals around as I move elements around on a page?Ĭan I resize or rescale the drawing so that I can fit more elements on a single page? but electrical CAD packages-if not a little harder to learn-seem better suited to the task, primarily because they understand what a cable is and what a connection is.ĭoes Sk圜AD have the ability to import a list of device boxes (I guess you'd call them 'Locations') from a CSV file? I could do all this manually in any number of flowchart, drafting or graphic design apps (I have experience with FreeCAD, LibreCAD and SketchUP among others).
#Librecad stretch software
I'm not a professional draftsman or engineer so I don't want to purchase expensive software and spend weeks learning it. I have a spreadsheet which looks like this:Īmong the documents I plan to place in each electrical panel I'd like to include a flow-chart-style line-art representation of the wiring, so that a visiting electrician can find a cable or device box in a table and then see the entire branch circuit represented graphically. I figure there will probably be about 200 cables throughout the house and about 100 boxes. I've taken it upon myself to map and label every cable and box so that in 5 years when someone opens a device or junction box they'll have perfect knowledge of where all the wires are going to and coming from.Ģ-LR-WL-13-1G (Level 2 - Living Room - West Elevation Low-on-wall - 1 of 3 - 1-Gang)Įvery cable is receives a unique identifier:Ĭables and boxes will be identified with labels. We're rebuilding a house and all the electrical is going in anew.
