    DIN RAIL COMPONENTS

    I have noticed when I use din rail on a panel and then put an ACE terminal connection on the din rail, the din rail hides under the terminal. How do I make it so the footprints I make do the same thing, and hide the din rail it sits over.
    Thanks

    Did you use Black Box Builder to create you footprint?

    It is done with a feature called wipeout. Check the AutoCAD help system for more about wipeout. Not the Electrical Help system but the F1 help.
