Hi all
New here and new to AutoCAD Electrical and MEP. Not new to plain AutoCAD.
I started a position as a electrical eng. The company bought me a few product and I am trying to understand how electrical and MEP works. I viewed a few videos and did some googling. I still struggle to see how I can implement Electrical and MEP to my work.
I managed to create a BOM on MEP to summaries the cable tray within a building.
My question is how do I create a table to show the cables on electrical?
Currently I have drawn a random wire (slipdac cable 3-core 2,5mm^2) "connecting" a switch to a light, both are blocks from AutoCAD I created.
I have also added a light block from the Electrical catalog hoping the report function can atleast show I have a light on the drawing. I keep on getting a data error on the command line.
Also I would appreciate it if someone can tell me why the scale on Electrical is so small? On attached picture I am showing a 1 Bedroom layout with the random cable and light but the light is too small to see on this scale.
The results picture will show what I am trying to accomplish, a table for the wiring.
