Electrical Schematic Symbol to Device

[Anonymous]

Does anyone knows how to convert the Elec. Schematic style based symbol to Electrical Device Eg. iam having a schematic symbol in my drgs. and i would like to assign load and circuit if it is a schematic symbol this does not permit me to assign, so i would like to change that Schematic symbol to an Electrical Device,

Thanking you in advance

Hi Binu
there is no option to assign load on Schematic Symbols in ABS.
How ever if you want to convert them to Devices, you can do that

ABS Schematic symbols are again blocks , and u can insert the block reference of the symbol and convert it to a Device.

In ABS 2007 , you can batch Convert the blocks to Devices

Dear Vijay, Thanks a lots
Here's the procedure what we do:
1- Go to FORMAT - Style Manager - Electrical Objects - Device Styles and click New Style
2- On the General tab add the name you would like to call the device
3- On the Design Rules tab pick the type of device, add a layer key and set how you would like the wire to cleanup.
4- On the views tab Add a view called Plan, Pick your schematic view block on the view block pull down, select plan in the display representation, choose top and bottom on the view directions and click Use Annotation Scaling under scale.
6- If created a 3D block create a second view called Model, Pick your 3D block, select model in the display representation, choose everything but top and bottom, and don't check the Use Annotation Scale.
7- On the Connectors tab, click add a connector and fill in the information for the connector.
8- Finally, we can add a classification if we like and change the way the object is displayed.

Hope this is the method of doing the new device and changing the schematic symbol to device style ? is int it ?
we may have better solutions in 2007.1 ?

Hi Binu
You are right
this is a procedure to create Devices from Bloacks
But i think u were looking to creat devices from Schematic Symbols
