To all,
I am just dipping my foot into the Circuit Builder pool and I can see the utility of it and am excited about trying to impliment it.
I have a question about terminal placement. I see how I can tell CB where to place a symbol by replacing #xyz with a coordinate but what I want to do is place a terminal at the junction of the inserted wire and the wire it terminates on via c:ace_cb_stretch_wire_connect. How do I get the coords where this occurs?
Bob,
the placement is controlled by the marker blocks on the circuit template. So when you make a choice on the dialog that corresponds to that marker block then the component is placed at the location of the marker block on the template.
If you always want a terminal at the location and it is the same type of terminal you can put it on the template. Otherwise you need a marker block on the circuit template that controls the options on the circuit dialog and the placement of the component that is selected.
On our blog I did some articles and videos on Circuit Builder that gives an overview of how it works and the basics on customizing. It might be a good place to start.
http://autodesk.typepad.com/systemsdesign/ will take you to the home page of the blog and then you can look for Circuit Builder articles.
I see that now. I think I will be placing the terminal in the circuit since it will go in the same place after the circuit is inserted each time.
Thanks for the info.
