Master / Slave Automatic Updates

Anonymous
Not applicable

I'm looking to see if there are any options to speed my example below.

 

If you look at the sketch below;

On electrical drawings if i have to change Pair 7 (My master) i have 5 other variables to change. 

  • Terminal Numbers
  • Pair
  • Cable Colours

Are there any coding / block options out there where if i change my master pair number, my 5 slaves will change to pre determined valves.

You're using Fusion for electrical drawings?  Can you explain a little more about what you're doing now?

I'm not using Autocad fusion, standard Autocad 2015.

 

I think that i will need to have one of the electrical package add on to carry out what i want to do.

 

 

I mark up at times electrical drawings. Alot of the same information is constantly changed depending on one or two variable.

 

e.g.

Pair 1 would change 4 / 5 no. variables

Pair 2 would change the same 4/5 variable to different values 

Pair 3 etc. etc.

 

If a cable no changes this no. has to be changed in 4 / 5 different locations.

 

What im looking for is if the cable no. is changed in one place the other 4 / 5 places where it needs to be changed can be automatically updated.

 

In theory a master is changing slave variable to set / pre determined values.

 

 

Many Thanks,

Ruaidhri

This forum is for Fusion API questions.  I don't think there are any AutoCAD experts monitoring this.  I suggest you re-post your question in an AutoCAD specific forum.
