In the previous session we learned about wires, inserting wires, different angle wires, multiple versus wire numbers and all. Now, in this session, we are going to learn about components this components, how to insert components, how to tag the components and how to do cross referencing to 30 the main topics we are going to touch today. So first let us open a drawing. So here is the product of a trading model Product Manager manager. This is what we created in our previous session. I'm not going to rename it or I'm not going to copy the product.

I'm just to keep it different rather like this, I will drop one sheet that is se e sera sera six, this is my open sheet and the active project is this one which is highlighted. You can see there Austin all are not highlighted this is this one is highlighted this statistic, add two products. Now, I will draw a simple wire here fine for inserting a component you should go to this icon menu here. Here you will find many many components which is readily available in the article library. And you may not get all the components which are required. Of course, you can create your own life library and you can add those into this menu that we will touch later on.

Initially, we will try to create few drawings with whatever is available within this menu. So, let us say if I want to insert a push button click here. See within this you will get variety of buttons. Push Button Yeah no, no means normally open. DNC is normally closed mushroom, mushroom herd DNC and Illumina is push button and many these are the indication lights suppose if you are putting in a humanist push button that must be having one input that is the BB contact cause pattern conduct and there is one output that is for this light So, you can utilize both the push button and light that is insert a simple push button. Here you see here in the bottom there are options you can put it either vertical or horizontal.

Options are here scale schematic if you want to scale the size you can do it. And this option browse here if you don't have a component here and you have created your own your own symbols and suppose you kept it in your supplier directory, then you can browse and take the component from there as well. But anyhow, now we are utilizing only these available components, push button. So make sure you're watching a piece of otherwise what will happen soon My wife's nappies on so it is getting the end point. So, my pressing f3 you can switch off the last nap was an app just keep the off snap up here in the bottom also you will get all the buttons for snap on off your financee grid display f7 f8 everything you will find here you optic snap have on this one pressing this you can now do snap is off.

So, I want to keep it on I can press it now it is again Okay in this way. So always try to keep the grid on the map mode warned that it will help you to move the components in a defended distance like this. It is tempting from one point to another. Okay, now I am inserting it here. Now you see PB one, push button number one that is here. Now if I want to add some descriptions like a feeder, start okay and manufacture, catalog assembly, everything is here.

In fact, you can look up the catalog. If you click here it will take you to a catalog which is readily available within AutoCAD and here also you can create symbols and add those symbols into this directory that is also very much possible. There are manufacturers in fact in my PC, I have not installed many manufacturers while using Installing AutoCAD there is no option to select the manufacturers. So, you can select as many manufacturers which you require. Unfortunately in my PC is not selected I have selected only few. So, it is like this otherwise you will get a huge list.

So, I want to use this push button Okay. Now you see here, the manufacturer and the catalog number is here and you can put the item number count here with the theme. Now, coming back to installation code, again installing code and Location Code helps you to create or segregate the components while making bill of materials is very useful. But for the time being you can skip this Number again you can skip but it is really very helpful because what is this pin number is physically if you take a push button you will find some numbers written on terminals, where you are supposed to connect determine a wise you will find some numbers one to 11 total 2122 year one year two in this way. So, if you are sure what is the exact determinant number you can put that two in this fine, I'm just picking 4k, you see the push button PB one the description is free to start.

This is how we can simply insert a component. Now, again go back to this menu. Here you will see the recently used list you can find out here Here underwriter recently used again, if you want to insert a push button, remember earlier, the tag was PB one. Now if I try to insert a push button again in the same sheet what will happen? Let us see I'm going to put it here not on a wire or otherwise I will put it into wire Listen here. Now it is automatically medically picking up the sequence number, which is two.

So you can see the tag number PB two. And you can type the description again for this. And in fact, if you want the same description to copy into the as what we have done in the first case, if you want the same description, to copy into even the second one, you can pick the drawing. See, you will get whatever descriptions You have used in this sheet for a push button you will get here from here also I can choose but you see this is PB one dot filter start I have copied the same into second push button as well. Manufacturers catalog These are things also can be copied from the same drawing like this way. Okay.

Okay. Installation. I told you what does it mean installation location. Again, if you want I can tell you installation is nothing. It's a particular area. You can call your areas and installation for example, there are a number of panels, save 5060 panels in one section.

You can call it lineup one that is your reinstallation and within that lineup You have first panel second panel. So for first panel if I put 01 tt or zero and P, that is my installation. Okay. So okay, the PB two, insert and sorry PB to start. This is how we can insert now, let us draw a three phase, horizontal wire. Now you see the distance it's too big, why I have to check it.

Now it is 10 mm, I will tell you to one or even 0.75 will be good enough 0.75 empty go horizontal fine. Now, I've drawn a three phase wire in this way, icon menu. Now I want to insert a circuit breaker. See here you can see the list circuit breaker. I can find here, just press the plus button here, circuit breakers and the disconnect is coming here. Again click it.

Now you can see the circuit breakers list. Suppose if I want to insert an MCC v three pole motor circuit breaker, click a plus here, it will ask you whether you want to go up or down. Now, the first ball of this component i have inserted in the top bar so I want the rest to be to it's down. Down in this way. Here. I will say Mater one start for the power power on Now you see earlier while we inserting a push button, it was coming Yes, PB PB is the family name and now it is CB circuit breaker, CBC family name and this is the sequential number.

Okay. Same way here also, you can look up the catalog See, these are all the catalogs available within mostly a B mix only ABC Allen Bradley. So I am putting one in the first the catalog items number comes here the manufacturer's name comes here again in storage and location I can add and this is for a year. Okay. And if you want to insert one more just the after inserting the first use this option, okay repeat. Now if I press ok repeat again The first one is inserted and it is asking for where to insert the second word is no wires till I will insert here.

Now, I have to again give the description if you want to copy something from the existing drawing or even from the project you have hundreds of projects hundreds of drawings in a product by clicking project you can find out in which sheet It is used, which tag is used, which description is there, what description is there and you can select from there as well. Now, I have all only used only one circuit breaker modern power on So, I just copy this and I will tell you to model to power on fine catalog number also I will select the first one Okay, I just changed the description that's all okay. Now, you see, it has gone like this one pole is here, next pole is here and there it comes here you can fix the distance between these individual poles. In the earlier case there was wires, which are predefined and in this case there was no wires.

So, it inserted each individual poles at different lengths and very well we can fix this but not now we are going to cover those areas that is removed this for the time being. Now, I have inserted a component. So, if I want to get it this circuit breaker or current rating, or even the description I can go to Did select Here it is. Now, in fact I want to add something like a what you call the recoil monitor one brake instead of motor I want to add recoil or motor one feedback you can insert it this event again you can if you want to change the color you can change okay it is asking for updating because this description particular description is added to the first pole. First of all, which is there in the top and you can see a dashed line connecting all the three poles together by updating this these values whatever you have changed or edited In the first poll is going to apply for the rest Also, if you skip this there will be a difference I will show you that now, let us say yes update now updated.

Now, if I go and click the second button, second pole here also you will see the same description CB one writing is same, but here you could not find the catalog number and all because this is a part of that first parent component even in this case, so this is same, this baggie, same description, you say, Okay, here you see first poll, here is the catalog everything. So we will put the catalog in the first poll register, let us assume as a parent. Now if I insert the same component, in fact, I'm not going to insert it. I'm going to copy, copy combined Here is a copy component. Okay, that is first copy this. I'll pick this I'll place it here.

Now PB two has become PB three. Now feeder instead of feeder I will put remote start Okay, okay. I can copy also. Now let us try to copy this copy component what will happen? EDS becomes CB two now I'm editing this into record or motor to 4k. See, I could able to copy only the first these are different parts.

Now I placed here click this option parent select this okay Now click this parent, select this, okay. Now you see, if you go and edit you can see the CCB to description is Mater to again this. This is also similar to model two, but the dashed line is not there. And if you want to insert the dashed line, link a components with a dashed line or select this option, pick all the three lines, three poles it will be linked with a dashed line. In fact, I don't want this rating to be appeared in all the three poles where only one pole will be sufficient. I mean the writing I don't want in all the poles and you can hide these attributes single pick, you can hide in this way You can hide this and if you want to move this attribute, you can move this little bit up down, select this in this way actually if you make a symbol which you require, you can defend the places the text the height here with the the fantastic way as you I mean you can use all your creativity in developing a component these are all predefined or readily available.

So, it may have some limitations. And in fact, you can get it these just use these components initially to develop your own and place the text type, textile everything as you wish and save it as such. Different name and to keep it in the same directory you can reuse that. So that is very much possible. Now if I want to get I'm going to get it this component now if I'm going to let us say I'm going to put it into three okay this time earlier you remember we have Choose Yes update now if I am skipping this okay I skip this. Now you see the first one is motor three CB two motor three.

If you see the second one, here it is motor totally. We haven't updated this again this one will be motor two. But in this case what we have done we have updated when we edited a component we have used update option. So it is always necessary to do the update. commands while copying or editing a component other ways, one pole will be with a particular value and the other one with a different something else. So, if you extract the details into Excel or some other hand, maybe if you try to put this data into the drawing, it won't match.

Okay? And the next thing don't use delete symbol delete command by selecting this plus delete. No, that is not the way now you see, if you delete things like this in an already electrical, the gap will remain there as cities. So never do that. Instead, use delete component. If you use this function what will happen select this end See multiple parent devices were added Do you want to search and surf into child devices?

Because it is asking you have deleted a component maybe you may have used the child of this particular parent some in some other sheets or somewhere else do you want to go and delete them to reset Okay. See now, it is asked what it's asking okay to saved right because you know what did you will do this particular project has four sheets, it will go and set all the four sheets. It is not necessary. We have used the child contact only in this sheet we can use it even in the other sheets. So, if you save this, it will just search the database whether the child component has been used somewhere else Or not. So, always do this updation fine.

Now, this is what edits now if I want to move the combine a little bit here and there, how can we do this? See, this is good. And you can move the component file type a move AutoCAD electrical move. See, it allows you to select the component to move. You can move like this. Don't use symbol mo command.

Now what happens if I move this thing? I'm unable to say select all this together. I can set it to one. See, it comes like this. That line has broken that blinking line. But still if you see the properties, this In CB one here also you can see CB one here also you can see B one, but this thing you have not stolen t 13 it was not there earlier it is showing the cross reference the to child of this particular component has been used line number told you entered in if you see this two here, here, see this comes in total and here is that 13 here is this 13 and this is this is what the cross referencing.

So, this comes automatically. So, if you want to move multiple pole components like this, what you can do is I'm just undoing this by control is said I'm just undoing this okay. Want to move this what I will use this code? I will use code command. So now you see what happened. I'm moving it a little bit here.

See, it is asking for school linked components. Okay. Now you see here again if you screwed this thing he did don't have any dashed or link line in between, but this this case is different here if I use this if you don't if you press no what would happen? See it will be like this, that link line will be there but the remaining two ports will remain there only it won't get changed. So we want to move such components scoot. Okay and in fact, if Want to move this whole circuit so line up down again move it in this way.

Never use touch command, never use move command always use code or even if you want to move it through Kamala an emo AutoCAD electrical mode this will ask you to select the component. This way you can move this is what scoot stands for and Elaine, you can even align the components in single line Okay, let me draw one more bus go horizontally. What I will do is I will insert few push buttons. See the last items again appear we have inserted only two Finally we have incident reports circuit breaker that is coming first here. Now, what I want I'm going to do is I'm going to insert a push button here PB four because already we have uses three push button in this sheet okay repeat. Now I am going to put in here that has become PB five, okay PB six, which will be here.

Now, you see the positioning is not matching not aligned one is here one is here one is here, in this case what we can do is, we can align select component to align with see the command line select component to align with I selected this and select two objects this and this. See it is aligned now. So, you can align the components to I mean, this will make your drawing more beautiful or readable and if you put one button he had been circled one here Technically, nothing wrong, but being a good designer always try to make the drawing tidy for that it will be easy to read the drawings the drawing represent you are capable capability you are creativity. So, always trying to maintain some standards like even here, if I make a drawing what I will do is I will try to align these also all the suitcase I will try to put it in one line if I'm using multiple arrays, I will put the realist in one line.

Let us try to put a relay now relays this thing in fact, you see this schematic symbol de schematic symbols there are multiple libraries in your Must be there in your AutoCAD. So you can choose the library. I mentioned you in the beginning, if you see the project properties here, schematic libraries and schematic icon you see a Takata electrical Daisy menu that is here. and here also if you see the top one, JC want a different library. So what I'm getting here is JC symbols. If you want it easy, you can you have to change there in the Project Setup.

Then you will get the isotype symbols fine. Now, I'm going to insert a relay list and contacts. It is here. Lists less now relay coil Loser two one delay here. That is car one. In fact, this tagging, car one, this tagging, you can change, we will touch in that portion in the coming sessions you can very very if you want to put a prefix to this tax like is some standards say that if it is sheet number six, all the tax will be within six as the prefix you can very well do that.

That option is there, okay that if you go to that option here you can do some city and that can be done. Now, I'm not going to do that CR one. Let me put a start. Start. I'm not going to pick up any catalog. Just going to put a relay.

In fact, if you want to extract the bill of material from the DOJ these fields are necessary capital numbers and all it's very necessary. So, if you are planning to extract the bill of material and more details from drawing then you should fill up those these data otherwise it is not necessary okay I have inserted the one delay this one better say stop okay repeat here I will put one called the inch is a function Okay. Now you see some yeah no UNC comes here, no NC you can see here. Now, this list in fact while you making a drawing what you should do is again You should try to align these try to bring them in one line like this and if you feel the distance is not sufficient use scoot, bring it out down in this way and if you want to move these attributes here and there again mobile attribute there are many options here regarding attributes to try to do this, I mean, it is unnecessary.

I don't want to waste your time by going each and everything these are very simple things hide attributes multiple. If you want to hide like this you can select different I mean many components at a time. And if you press description one see here in the first two case description is to opt. In this case, the description is in if I choose the description one those gloves off Okay. So, like this you will get many options here hide multiple Heidi attributes single pick single pick, you go to work individually in this way you end this also you can hide this individually. So, these are simple things you can very much read from the right is written here stretch attributes, excuse attribute rename attribute.

Those are the things okay move attribute, how can I move like this? If you want to move this I can move. I want to keep it close to this done. And now I will connect all these three wire in this way okay. Now, now if I You see, free try to edit this component This is a component tag okay this is basically a parent component. Next option here Here also you will get the details okay if you double click this you will get a option Attribute Editor.

Here you can see the block name of this particular block you can find here text to option if you want to change the text style, you can change it from here properties and if you want to change the width or height of the text that would be you can change from here. Now what I will do is I am going to insert a coil here. I want to insert sorry contact, I want to insert one year no conduct of this particularly CR one I want to insert here Okay inserted here and I want to use CR one So, what I will do is I will click parent and go and select this one. Since this has become CR one the description also copied here okay. Now you see the cross referencing 16 because it is showing its parent that is the coil is used in line number 1616 is here if you see the coil foil since line number 16 Here you see the NOC student 18 that is here, line number eight is this line number 18.

Now, it is coming just like a 1618 symbol numbers. In fact, we can take the the format This cross referencing so we can select the sheet number, column number and if your x&y axis are in different inverse like the ABCD here 123 in x axis you can change the cross referencing accordingly so, those options are always there. So you can do we will go through those portions in the coming sessions okay now I have used to one end of conduct here but now I mean this is not a again this is not a circuit I'm just putting some symbols here and here okay. Now, if I want this year no I have put into here yet no here and in fact I want to convert it did begin see one ways I have to delete this component and I can insert go to icon menu I can use a UNC contact and the another beautiful option which is available in AutoCAD electrical is up Change the component this one itself see this toggle switch converting no TNC if you click this, now this is open normally open if I click this what will happen?

This has become VNC now and the same time they go here. Now earlier the description the cross reference was against yes or no now has that has changed to NC that is the beauty of orthogonality and let us try this one this is now open. Now this has become NC very beautiful really beautiful. This is this toggle stands for and coming back to here. Here there are many options, swap connector pins, rotate the connector stretch connector reverse connector, there are many options okay. If I try to I will show one small example here.

Want to sometimes you know this like this by keeping the snap model on you may not be able to properly select this component. So in that case what you should do is I mean you switch off this and select okay now why I'm putting do just putting one and two there's there's a pin numbers here right here. So, maybe after some time I realize no this should be in the reverse order two should come first one should go second. So what I will do the sub connector pins if I were to select this sorry, let us pay this is not working in this case. Let us type first insert I add this thing connector first. Insert connector.

Go like this. 1234 insert, I'm going to go this is a huge insert a connector, spacey one been going for I'm going to insert this connector here, this is a connector, which I can go into I can connect two wires into this like this one by one or what I can do, I can use this option component option. This way also I can connect. Now in this let us try to use this strap connection pin. See. Now, you see he had note here, three, top four bottom.

Three stop for is bottom. Now you see, four is on the top three. So the bottom This way you can swap the connection pins okay this is one option reverse connector what will happen see now the protocol has been reversed in this way you can reverse the connection connector connector stretch connector select this now you see it has to be stretch. If you want to make it big you can make it big same way here, but it is not advisable to do on these components. You should never do that. For contests you can apply these functions.

Okay? Only for contests rotate connect and speak to connector. Manual big point The contract respected now okay. So these are the options for connectors I believe the connector pins, mobile connector pins all these options are there. So you can utilize these. In this way you can move the connector pins very simple this component cross reference component cross reference What is this is actually sometimes when you insert a, I'm putting a coil contact here which is off to I'm not putting any cross largest inserted now there is no cross reference okay.

And later stage I'm editing this To see up to now the cross references they're fine. What I'm going to do is I'm going to the previous sheet or some other sheet. This is a different type of block in this sheet what I'm going to do, I will again insert a contact here. I will give the same number tags here too. If you don't remember if you want to pick from the dry go to dry, here you will find but in this case we are not unable to find because in this drying, we don't have a coin. We don't have we have nothing to pick from.

So in this case what you should do go to project here you will see in sheet number six you have already this many relays. We want to pick car one. If you want you could pick that that Description also comes here. Now, you see sheet number 616 you have right now we are in sheet number seven, it is say the parent you can find find in sheet number six line number 16 line number 16 is here this is CR one c you have used one DNO at sheet number 730 and here it is only symbol 18 because it is in the same sheet again we can change the format as per your wish you can change sometimes what happens is this cross referencing does not come automatically. So, in that case what you have to do is component you have to do the component cross referencing if you want to do to the whole project where select all the drawings do all okay 3d take few seconds.

So it will give you a report also where it is something wrong. Or where are the components use all the details. I'm not going to do today's close. So this way you can do the cross referencing and hide and held cross reference. If you want to hide some cross referencing you can hide. You can very well hide those cross references and rename add sorry, we are here.

Cross references check, multiple child location description, update, copy, component to correlate. These are all part of this. So don't worry you will learn these things automatically. Basically, what I'm trying to tell you in this session is just the inserting the main functionality of Once that's all okay. Now we have inserted components, we have edited component we know how to delete we know putting cross referencing component cross referencing. We learned that too.

Now just just for your this thing, if I am want to insert a coil this sheet, okay, this is sheet number six, I will go to option I will type percentage yes. Okay percentage Yes, yes for sheet name. And here you see percentage F and the N you can see here, F stands for family DNS for numbering. Okay, now I'm to the percentage f percentage again I have added percentage yes to percentage F and dn as a prefix. Yes This firma sheet number now, okay, now you see this is Coming as six year one because my current sheet number is six. Okay if I do repeat next year will be six years too early to us coming years symbol CR one because there was no yes percentage Yes.

Okay. So this way you can customize your component and tagging. In fact, while starting your projects will vary so option components here, here putting that percentage yes if you add that here, right now by default it is percentage F and percentage and only if I'm putting a percentage yes here. sheet number Okay. Now if I insert it it will not. If I go to sheet number next letter says good enough she's selling.

If I try to insert here In the car for only why, because I have changed the property in this product file, but these were carrying some other produce drawings are carrying some other property because we have made this even before changing this properties. Now, if I do apply a product defaults to this and then if I try let us see what will happen. Now, as you see it is coming as 701 same way if you go back to some other sheet and now you insert now, it is coming your CFO only because he earlier these three components what we have done is we have changed those properties temporarily by going options that is known The default value of this particular drawing in order to make that default value go to property, apply project values. Now that project properties are applied to this sheet so now if you insert it will come as prefix Okay, this is how you can insert the components.

Now, going back to one more thing I would like to put in your attention that is no entity set up this thing is very useful. Actually, what happens is when you use a contractor or relay Okay, you use for example, I inserted the relay. Okay, see our four I have inserted this relay and I want to use few contacts of this particular relay. Some 646 are for parent and selecting this okay. Okay repeat I'm using another one here okay repeat. Now sorry In fact I have to select this same tag parent this should be saved okay.

And I will put one more yeah Baron Is this okay. Now you see I have used three or no contacts of this particular relay maybe while watering you may have ordered for to no contact. So three no contacts are not available for the relay which you have already ordered for manufacturing purpose. But it is not necessary while create designing a circuit you will keep in mind that we are we have ordered for too long you may sometimes skip That won't come into your memory. We have order literally just to no contact. So in order to our that, while inserting your relay, what you can do is you can set up the contacts numbers here, maximum, you know count how much So now let us say I'm putting two okay in no contact.

Same way MC Condor, approximately Condor say everything is there. Okay? 60 or one I'm going to put here 60 or two. Okay. I checked the center, there are only two contacts. Now what I will do is I will insert one contact here yet no contact parent is this.

Okay? Okay, repeat. I'm going to put one more Parent use this thing. Now I'm going to put the tear one. Now, you see now it is giving you a warning you have selected only to maximum and no contact. So it is very useful because, in fact if you want to ignore, you can ignore.

And if you don't want that to happen you can cancel and you can go and edit clear relay contacts here or you have to put another relay. So this way you can eliminate the, the ers and another very beautiful function I will put one fattened I'll put one card up here. I will choose project. I will use a letter says CR one contract I'm going to use here CR one I have used here. Now, let us move to the sheet number six. Here you have an option called surf surface there, it will take you to one drawing to another.

If you go here, surfer if I select the CR one, you will get a chart like this showing where the contacts are used. One name fee is used sheet number six line number 18. One year no is used sheet number 730. In this way you will get the details if you want to go and check where it is use the selected go to now we are in a sheet number six, but one no contact is used in sheet number seven I want to go and see where it is used to just select it go to it, it will take you to that particular sheet sheet. Now we are on sheet number seven. We are here and if you want to delete this you can delete if you want to edit this you can edit.

If you want the zoom in, you can zoom in like this zoom out, consume out like this pan you can pan like this. And again if you want to go back here go to that particular car on coil. We have this piece for parent parent coils here, the respondents are all styled. In this way you can move from here one tissue to another. And from there grant return back, delete, edit all this option. All these options are here.

This is another beauty of AutoCAD electrical from work. sheet you can cross that many sheets. You don't have to go and open those particular sheet individually. From here you are navigate through other sheets, you can delete those components, you can edit those components, you again come back to the same sheet. So, this is I mean the overall picture of components. And, of course, this is not over.

There are many that we will cover in the coming session. Thank you. Bye bye
