![]() ![]() Now you'll be asked to select a menu file, we're using schematic drawings, not panel drawings so we select Schematic there and it brings up the DAT file, the default DAT file, now we're using NFPA standards as well so you can see that that's the NFPA menu.DAT file I'll click on OK, also I've done that, the Icon Menu Wizard comes up and it looks remarkably like the icon menu that you used to insert symbols into your schematic drawings. The available symbols can be found at Ribbon. ![]() Some are free while some may have a fee associated. Many manufacturers in different industries provide libraries of blocks for their products for use with AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. Libraries can be created or found online. AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT do not ship with extensive symbol libraries. So we'll keep the control.dwg file open, go to the Schematic tab on the ribbon and you want to go to the other Tools panel here and select Icon Menu Wizard. Where to find symbol libraries for AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT. What we're going to look at now is customizing the Icon Menu to add our custom symbols to it so they can be used over and over again. Which is to say one click on the power rail, one click on the little stem, no vertical wire required. We're staying in our control.dwg file in our Project 004, and what you can see there that I've done is zoom extense, there's our custom symbol that we brought in the previous video. The other thing I will do is to put little stems for the top and bottom wire connections to allow a little room for a wire number right at the symbol and that provides for all horizontal wire. ![]()
