Hi,
I have been using normal autocad for a while to do schematics and would like to switch to Autocad Electrical because it makes wire routing easier and definitely faster for schematics.
I've a lot of custom modules/components that I use.
For example this one below:
I would like to know how I can add this module/components in Autocad and save it in the library for use in other drawings.
I also want to turn these little circles into connection points so that I can route wires to each terminals.
Thank you!
Doug pretty much covered it. You can model pretty much anything once you understand how the symbol attributes work.
That looks like the Communications portion of a complex relay? (IED) I kept ours simpler so that each port is its own symbol. We only show what is connected, so I can leave out any not being used. To me a modular approach is where a product like ACADE shines. Doing it the way you have in the past, you'll likely have several blocks similar to that one for each different device. By making each port a child symbol you can build anything you want.
The sample below is from my communications schematics for a new substation we are building. Working down from the top you see the COM port in each feeder breaker's IED relay. Connected to that is an RS232-Fo converter, then a FO jumper to a splice box in the breaker. After that it's back to the building via FO cable, then through a splice tray with adapter panels, one more jumper and another converter before entering the port on our Comm. processor. The same group of symbols used to define each circuit.
Elsewhere on this same drawing I show all the IRIG connections in the station with just a few simple symbols. We have used similar complex symbols like you show in the past, but that gets cumbersome. Using simple symbols to express common ideas is a far better approach in my opinion.
