Same motor running at different voltages

[Anonymous]

I have a situation where I will use the same motor at two different voltages (460 and 380)
The problem arises when I try to show the motor RPM on the drawing. How can I define it in the catalog as motor 123456 with a RPM of 3600 for 460v and motor 123456 with an RPM of 2850 when it is run at 380v without having to manually change that rating??

Thanks
Chad

I noticed no one is answering this. From what I can tell, you have the option of either using a V rating of "380/460 VAC" and an RPM rating of "2850/3600 RPM" as a catch-all system, OR using all of the built in "RATING" attributes, 1 through 4, with 2 of them being used for the 380V case and 2 being used for the 460V case. Then after you place the symbol and select the cat number, just hide the two rating attributes that don't apply.

You can try this trick... set up two catalog part number entries, same MFG and CAT values but use different dummy ASSYCODE values, let's say you use ASSYCODE values of "460VOLTS" and "380VOLTS". For the record entry with the "460VOLTS" ASSYCODE value, set up the TEXTVALS field for your RATINGx attribute to be equal to "3600" and for the "380VOLTS" record's entry set it to "2850". Also adjust the record's descriptions so that they reflect the incoming voltage. Now, when you do a catalog lookup to assign the catalog part number, you'll see your two identical catalog entries in the catalog pick list but one marked 460 and the other 380. Picking one or the other will correctly map that entry's preset RATINGx attribute values out to your motor symbol.

Jay and Nate,
Thanks for your help!
Nate, your way was the one that I thought of, just thought there may be some other way.
