DeviceNet and Network Layouts

[Anonymous]

I'd like to make drawings with DeviceNet layouts in them.  Is there anything out there that will allow me to use smart blocks, smart tees, etc so that way when I'm done I have a BOM and report for everything used.

ACE would not have ay problem doing that. Yo would have to create all the symbols that you would need because they do not exist yet, but it is definitely possible.

Okay thanks.  I was thinking of having a DeviceNet layer and then having a special linetype for devicenet cables corresponding to this layer.  Would there be anyway to have it automatically insert a deviceNet Tee wherever there would normally be a dot if we were using wires?

If you want to be able to count the number of tees that you have and have them appear on your BOM, just make a special component for them and insert them just like any other part.

Okay, there is no way for it to automatically insert it?  I was thinking something similiar to how MEP works with pipes.

Not that I am aware of. Maybe one of the others can chime in...
