Components Not Found

[jamesaa]

Hi
I've just installed autocad electrical 2008. I've never used autocad electrical before and have just started working through the training courseware.
When I first tried to place a component I got an error message saying the component is not found.
I tried adding the path C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Acade 2008\Libs\jic1 to tools->options-support file search path
and now I get a extremely small component. I'm guessing I need the iec library instead of jic but I cant find it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you chose JIC as your design standard, you will get the JIC1 and JIC125
libraries installed by default. The IEC libraries would not install unless
you deliberately select them. If you selected IEC as your default design
standard during the installation the IEC2 (2mm text) and IEC4 (4mm text)
should have been installed instead if JIC1 and JIC125. During installation,
after the design standard is chosen, you can still choose other libraries to
install.

You should not need to add the symbol path to the search path. It is
specified by right-clicking the project name selecting properties, and
assigning the library by clicking the plus sign next to Schematic Libraries.
You can specify a different schematic library for each project. The WDDEMO
project is assigned JIC125, while IECDEMO is assigned IEC2.
