Minimum din rail length

jasantangelo — Fri, 30 Aug 2013 17:12:43 GMT

Does anyone know how to adjust the minimum length when inserting a section of din rail. I have tried adjusting the RAILLENMIN column in the WDDINRL.xls file. However, this did not work. Also, I have tried changing all SLOT** columns to 0 hoping that not displaying slots might help but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggetions?

Which of the DIN-rails do you use?

We typically use AB 199-DR1 or AB 1492-N44.

Hi.

I've changed my settings to metric, but the RAILLENMIN does what you want it to do.

Keep in mind that if you have changed the scale-value, that this also affects the RAILLENMIN.

This is my setting for AB 199-DR1:

MFG

CAT

ASSYCODE

DESC

RAILWID

RAILCEN

RAILCEN1

RAILCEN2

RAIL2SLOTCEN

RAIL2ENDBASE

RAILLENSTD

SLOTOFS

SLOTCEN2CEN

SLOTLEN

SLOTWID

RAILLENMIN

CHANNEL

CHANNEL_END

MIN_SHIFT

NCHOLE

BRKT

BRKT_NAME

BRKT_MFG

BRKT_CAT

BRKT_ASMB

CATALOG_TABLE

199-DR1

Symmetrical Rail 35mm x 7.5mm 1m lon

1000

17,5

12,5

-12,5

150

dinrail_nc-00a

yes

dinrail_1492-N25

1492-N25

DIN

If I draw in scale 0.1 (1/10), and try to insert a rail that is shorter then 8, AUtoCAD Electrical tells me that the value is too short, and that it will use 8 instead.

Thank you. The scale-value was the issue. I have reset and it is working as expected now.

If you have the same issue, the solution should also be the same?

Could you please let me know if I uninstall and reinstall my AutoCAD Electrical , will I lose my projects I have done. I mean is it dangerous?

Before I came to the company it was installed on "C Drive", but I was told I have to work on another "Drive". Can I bring all stuff to the new one?

Kind Regards,
