The Insertion point Z-value of device shall be 0.The Z-value of Connectors should always be defined as 0.The elevation property of the device (not the insertion point) should be used to assign the 3D view to the correct elevation. For Preset Elevation, select a defined elevation.īecause devices have 2D views and many have 3D views assigned to them, the insertion point of devices should be specified as 0.Specify an elevation by doing one of the following:.

You can select either the insertion point of the view block that represents the device, or one of 9 other points on the device, such as Top Left or Middle Center.

This ability means you can create circuits and connect them to devices at any time during the design process. When you add a device to your drawing, you can assign the device to a circuit, or you can leave the circuit unassigned until you know the circuit to use. You can also insert a device onto a wire, in which case the device breaks into the wire and creates 2 wires. You can place devices and then connect them with wires. After attaching a referenced drawing (xref) of the architectural plan to your drawing, typically you continue by placing devices and panels in the layout.
