Hi,
My use of Autocad Electrical began earlier this week.
I have encountered a problem where my custom symbols made in separate .dwg
files do not lay exactly on the wire when I insert them using Insert
Component. Using my mouse, I locate the block image so that the 2 (1 left
and 1 right) wire terminals in my symbol lie precisely on the wire. When I
click the mouse button, however, the symbol block I am inserting shifts up a
pixel or two, depending how closely I am zoomed. This occurs whether or not
SNAP is activated. Apparently, the insertion is otherwise working properly
as it breaks the wire.
I believe I am using the necessary attributes. Furthermore, this problem
occurs only with some of my custom symbols. All of my symbols use an
insertion point of x = 0, y = 0, and z = 0, which is at the precise center
of my wire terminals.
Any advice with this problem would be greatly appreciated. One of my
problem symbols is attached so it may be inspected and tested.
Thanks,
Andrew
P.S. I read Lint's response to the 11/25/2003 posting entitled "Create new
item." In it, he advised that the WD_M block not be inserted on our
symbols. As I understand it, this WD_M block is invisible. How do I
determine if it is on my symbol, and if so, how do I get rid of it?
