Creating an interposing relay and PLC schematic using PLC IO utility.

My main question is how do I generate 120VAC and 24VDC on the same drawings and through the PLC IO Utility and its spreadsheet.

My current process for fast drawing generation is have a template for DI, DO , AI, AO, etc or have templates for individual PLC cards.  I want to not need an expansive database of these templates and just generate Schematics with the PLC IO Utility.  I see how I can generate components, PLCs, and spacers, but that's about it.  I have looked through Nate Holt's blog post on using the utility but I still have questions.

 

I'm also looking for commands that I can enter into the PLC IO Utility spreadsheet like "spacer" that will do other neat things like jumper or something.

 

Please feel free to just point me in the right direction of a rabbit hole.

I'd look into the classes at AU:

@Anonymous did a really good class in 2018, showing off some neat tricks to do other types of drawings with the PLC I/O utility: https://www.autodesk.com/autodesk-university/class/Automatic-Drawing-Creation-AutoCAD-Electrical-2018
