Connectors

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to link all the connectors on a device so if one connector is
changed to a specific circuit, all the connectors change to that circuit.

For example: I have specified 3 connectors on a receptacle (on the
quadrants) and have left the connector circuits to unassigned. I assign
circuit numbers when circuiting. I would like all the connectors on the
device to change to the circuit number, not just the one connector the wire
is attached to. The problem I am having with multiple branch circuits.
Unless I run the wire between the two previously used connectors, the
program doesn't recognize the multiple branches. There are a couple work
arounds I am trying to avoid:
1. Change back to one connector (Looks sloppy on some devices)
2. Manually edit each device and assign the circuit number to each
connector (Takes too long).

And ideas?

Hi Andrew,

I don't know any way to automatically assign a circuit to all connectors on
a device:-(
But you can use modify to edit all devices that are connected to the same
circuit in one operation. That might save you some work.

Thanks Bo. That will save some time.
