Hi,
I am using ACE 2009. I am trying to force myself to create custom symbols (using Symbol Builder) for all the components I use. This way, I hope to be able to produce good Bill of Material reports from my drawing set. Up until now, I have simply been drawing alot of these components with lines and text so they do not appear on reports.
For certain components, I usually draw the component in two locations. For example, for a SCR power controller, I draw a simplified version of the controller on my power distribution page that only shows the power connections. Then, I draw a more complete version of the controller on another page that shows all of the IO wiring required by this controller (there is too much of this for me to feasibly fit it on my power distribution page).
I am just wondering if there is a preferred way for me to create a symbol for both my "simplified" version and my "complete" version of this controller, but to have them show up on reports as one and the same rather than two separate components.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
