Transcript

In the previous session, we made a new project and we have added two drawings into that project. Now, we will start drawing something we all know there is no electricity without wires. So, this wire wire is the basic of AutoCAD electrical. Let us start with wire unlike normal AutoCAD electrical, normal AutoCAD in normal AutoCAD what we do is we draw lines like this. Fine, everything we draw lines, but in electrical at aka electrical, we used wires Remember, this all comes under schematic tab. Now, we are just concentrating schematic tab and insert that wires.

If you click the bottom portion here you can see different types of viruses with wise normal 22.5 degree 45 degree 47.5 and the interconnect components gap everything is here. So, it is almost similar to drawing a line just like is when you draw a line in normal attack, AutoCAD it will ask you for a start point right here you see the bottom the command line start point, next point and so on so on so on. So, similarly, in AutoCAD electrical two When you pick up wire it is asking for start point guard point. Next point, next point, in this way I can draw wires. See here you see something went wrong. So always it is a good practice, keep to keep the snap mode on you have Nan Won't you give will allow your cursor to move in in the pre defended distance.

And in fact, that will be very useful while inserting components to. So, make sure the snap is on. Wire. Yeah, before that one more thing. See, under the Home tab, go to Layer and always draw wires with a wire layer, you can create your own layer, any type of layer that should be wire layer and better use the red color because the visibility is too good. So, now my current layer is wires go to schematic, wire, start point, end point.

This is simple wire, again if I want to draw a wire from here to bottom see this dot this connection point comes automatically gained from here to here if I want to try a wire like this The advantage of keeping the snap own is you If you see all these endpoints comes in in a single line, I mean the alignment should be perfect. If they keep the snap off, now, there was an episode of snappy soft and I tried to draw a line I cannot control it. Now, I think it is there. I mean it in line with this other rest of device, but it is not this is a difference. So, always use snap on it will be easy to control. I like normal electrical and AutoCAD you should not use normal electrical what we do is we use delete component.

But in order to delete wireless you should never use delete component. You should Always use trim trim here see like this if I use delete What happened? You see this.is there okay this connection point added new now if I if I delete it will remain fairly. So, this is not a good practice always use trim, trim do delete wire, this is simple wire. Now, for one to dry 2.5 degree wire first let me draw his normal wire here. Now 22.5 degree wire Am I want to backpack wire from this point in this way this is 2.5 Same 45 degree I can draw in this way.

This angle is the pastor nice 22.5 degree disrupt 22.25 fortify and 67 in this way you can draw angled wire normally you don't have to draw England wise in electrical like keeping the water off by keeping the water off and on it is not going to help you at all. In electrically you might or not you can draw inclined the line. My keeping off and straight lead by keeping on but schematic if you see now my even if I on and off my ortho, it is not going to affect at all You will move either horizontally or vertically. That's all and if you need an inclined wire, these options you should use these options here. gap is nothing but again I will trim these wires. There is nothing wrong if you want to delete the whole section.

You can use delete command there is nothing wrong. Now you see I'm crossing two wires. See, this gap comes automatically If you draw a line using line command, that is not going to come here, why I suggested not to delete Is this because of this reason to why, if I'm using delete command or erase Command C, I have deleted this portion, this is not going to be get deleted. Again this just be deleted all the three entities separately, but if you use trim command, see the difference gone the total wire is gone. If you use delete this is gone, this is gone sometimes these crosses will remain there you may Mr delete these and when you do the wire numbering, the program will read these small wires also and we'll put some wire number in here. So in order to avoid that, always use use trim command fine.

Now moving to multiple bus. See here you can see four options for options and some spacing, horizontal and vertical spacing and number of wires here, there are three options to three, four. You can wire you can draw two wires at a time. You can draw three wires at a time and you end four at a time. And the options are component. Another bus, empty bus go horizontal, empty bus go vertical Let us move from bottom to top empty space go vertical and I'm selecting three three Why's the spacing is horizontally then vertically 10 that is what it is at percent.

Now, see, turn is too big because if you measure the distance or size of this particular type of block approximately 33 by 2233 by 22 Okay, so, this is JC type block for that, but right now you have seen here this turn is eternal So it will be too big for it says sheet. This is fine, but for this small title block, it is too big. So I'm putting it a surah point seven five the x and y is 0.75 Okay. Now why Phaedra you see my vertical bus Same way, go horizontal, I can draw in this way by keeping the, this option one, if I try to draw vertical, it will come like this. First two will go horizontal then it will come down. You see this is go horizontal, but I'm trying to draw with And then what happens?

You see it will first go horizontally only opposite. Now go vertical. And I'm trying to draw horizontal. See, it will come like this. And you can see the gap here too. These are the two options go horizontal and to go vertical and another bus.

There is already a bus and you want to draw one more bus from this existing bus. I'm selecting the topmost wire and bringing it down. Again this is to option another bus. Okay. Select the top one and bring it down and if I select the bottom what will happen under best okay five select the bottom what will happen it will be like this. So, this is not right way when you feel used intern to draw a three phase line, always select the top one so, that you can draw three phases and component wire component wire is nothing actually.

Now, what we have done is we have drawn few wires in a plain paper. Now, if there are some components already inserted in this drawing if you want to Draw wires from those particular components we can use this option for example, I will just to show you one small example this is a PLC module Okay, these are all function ones. Now I want to draw wires from these points. So, one option is I have to draw individually wires I can draw like these one by one one by one I can draw it like this, this is one option Okay. Now, instead of that what I can do is use select this component and you can see those green cross are appearing in all terminals green cross Okay, green cross. So, I want to draw a few wires on the left side of this module, what I will do is I will make a fence like this, learn the left side.

Okay. Now that has turned into red color, those crosses gender and bring to its left, bring the mouse to its left. See, it's drawn. Similarly if you want to it's right again component I will make a fence here select those terminals, okay. Now that tend to do right is not the difference. Now you can see all the connection points within this particular block is green now this green cross you can see, but I want to you unlock two wires on the right hand side this now, so, I will select those points now that turned into right yonder move your cursor to it right draw.

So, these are the four options. The first one go vertical, in this way you can draw the second one go horizontal in this way another bus either from this best I can draw like this, or from this best I can draw like this, always use the top one. If you tell at the bottom on what happens It would be like this and the fourth option is component that is what we have drawn here. And these options also we have discussed in fact, if I change it to one, one and go horizontal will not the difference empty, go horizontal. See how the distances one, earlier it was point seven five in this way you can adjust your length and distance between wires and if you want to wire for wire You can use four you can try in this way if you want to wire fine too You can draw at a time right.

So, these are the options are multiple but So, next move into wire numbers, wire numbers there are different standards of doing differently for rolling is nothing but those are the sleeves put on the end to end software wire to identify the wires. So, if I simply do the wire number in this sheet, what will happen? I'm not going to tell you about any of these things at present there are three options, you can see one is product white, one is picking digital wise and is there a nice bright color drawing mode triangles. If you pick into your wires, it will ask you to select the wires you want to do the wire numbering and selecting these formulae now. Okay. Now you can see the wire number, it has come as 6066079 and 10.

Okay, in this way. Now, the same thing if I'm doing drawing right here will be done. And also, I can do project divide. There are total, four sheets in my project here, excuse me in the left side, four sheets in my project. And I can select all or even I want to do one or two, I can select those only right and if I want the whole project 4k in the whole project, it will read and write the wire numbers. And what is this quantum number 4660 b a CD, you know what it is?

That is something very interesting. You may know that the file name is 006. Okay, now I will show you one more thing. I'm going to put here this cheat value as well. Sheet numbers. Now, you see 1672272 all these are going this six sheet value that is the fastest Did that is the first two digit six, that six you can see in all drawing.

Six, forget about the rest that six is there in all drawing in this particular sheet. If I go to sheet number seven, I'm deleting what is what is here, sheet number seven. Now if I draw a horizontal bus here, two wires and if I do the wire number in drawing right here you can see 771727172 but in the previous sheet, in order to go back, forward underbase you can use these buttons previous products you can do the previous here it is with six 61609 yay. And all this is just because the property of these sheets are something not similar or something wrong with those. So, let us go to the project file project and that is see what are the properties here in wire numbers here this percentage yes stands for sheet that is sheet value that is 1672 all these values what we what we put here, give the individual sheets, these six into your sheets.

Okay, like this. Here you can see to all the servers Balance Sheet varies person that he is. Now, going back to properties wire numbers and this is in sans for numbering. Now, it is sequences 1234 and the environment this one first it will start with the 61626364 in this fashion that is what the default value of this project, I mean this is the format set for this particular project. If you see sheet number seven you will note that 717227 is the sheet number and the one is the numbering sequence. Okay.

And if we should see sheet number six here it is something different 601606 because If you go to this particular sheet and take its properties here, there is something wrong. What is wrong? We will see later. Okay. Anyhow, what I'm going to do is I'm going to set the project properties, wireless number. Now I'm going to set this line reference CP suffix setup.

Here also I am going to do 2345 678-910-1113 1314 15 and 16. Okay, dun dun. Okay. Now, I select this. Properties, apply product to default I have uploaded the default project settings to this sheet to and same I will do this sheet as well. Now if I do the wire numbering you will note some different drawing right.

Now you see those ABCD everything is gone. Now. Now, the format is first is the sheet number that is this six and 02 that is this two and the last one sequential last it will start with the one here you see 60226 is the sheet number 02 is nothing It is getting from here to okay and next to number sequentially six zero To one to two, I will delete this all and drop few fresh wires three go horizontal dot here and wire numbering pick into January. Now you will note six is my sheet number 10 is this line number one is the starting number. Similarly six is my sheet number 11 is this number one is the starting number. Same with 612 if I draw a few more wires here and if I do the wire number a drawing guide you will see this is 6101 This is 6102 This is 6111 This is 6112.

So it is frequently it is increasing. Basically what is happening is the program, start reading from the top to right first to top then to its right hospital put the sheet number one it will see which is the line it will put the first number here on the first wire, second number on second and it will keep on moving to its right and the next slide, next slide. Next slide. Bottom then directs right again to its bottom towards right in this way it reveals and puts the wire number one the middle of the wire so don't get confused. Okay, it will put the wire number one the middle of the wire suppose if or draw something like this So, you may expect the wire number to be something with a eight, because we all started the wire from eight, but that is not going to happen.

Let us see quickly into the wire and picking this wire. It has started with six because this is a single wire and the starting point is from six. Start that from six here you see the six, six. That is the starting point. So the program reads from top to bottom too fast it got to this point and the middle wire number. This comes on the middle of the wire.

That's how it reads. And if you want to move this wire number a little bit here and there. How can you do This is more wire number, you can move this wire number here and there. In this way you can move the wire like here, I can move this wire number I am okay, this way I can move my wire numbers and another function if you want to copy the wire number movies one thing and the copy wire numbers in order to copy wire number actually, the wire number will appear only in one place in a particular wire but if you want to copy it to a different level, you can just click that will appear in white color. The numbers are same you see but This will come in white color in this way I can copy okay. And in this case if you see the wire numbers are not aligned Can we do that also?

If I type e la dia, AutoCAD electrical LA, see everything comes in one line everything comes in one line. Okay. Again, I will move this here and there if I want to learn this Yay, AutoCAD electrical ally. Select the first one. Now if I select this and drag this, everything comes like this. In this way, you can never Have you ever delete this wire numbers using symbol delete command, because you can even know this small this point here it is here you can see you will what you will do is you will simply delete this wire number sometimes this will left here.

It will create some issue with your database. So always use delete wire numbers that shows you when you don't have to pick the wire numbers you just have to pick the wire that pick the wire. Wire number is gone. That's a wire. How can we stretch a wire to see how can we stretch our wire? Now why have a wire drawn here?

Somebody's here I want to stretch This wire to hear. So, go to stretch got done it is something like extend extend command something like but this dot comes automatically that is the beauty of AutoCAD electrical that is the beauty of photography. Now, I will again do wire numbers on this only one wire number because this starts from the top here is the starting point and the wire number is placed on the middle of that particular band 6091 if you see here it will be 991 and, in fact if you want to we have learned how to move the wire number, we can move the wire number. Okay fine. But if you want to flip the wire number how it will work. veto flipper number, just select this.

You can flip the wire numbers in this way. You can flip it up down wire, wire number, pick into your wire and then I'm going to flip select this, you can bring it here, bring it up, down, left, right. Don't reuse move command to do this thing. If you want to move just to use this move, if you want to flip use this. Okay, and see the toggle in life, toll wire number in line. See how it works.

You can bring the wire number in the line instead of putting it to warn about the line or said the line you can bring it like this too. menu options you can bring it in this way Okay, there is another facility. Now coming to edit wire, wire type. See, here are many types of wires you can see even this zero layer, layer zero is also here in this list. So what happens is now going back to Home tab and putting the my current layer as zero which is not a wire at all, but keeping that current layer zero if I draw some wires and if I do wire numbering drawing where we could see the wire number comes here to in this layer zero, which is in fact not my wire, layer at All I don't want this layer to be used for ways. Now if I have an object here in this drawing which I manually made an object in using normal Docker command line and all those things, okay, this is a component which is drawn inside AutoCAD using the zero layer.

Now, what happens is if I do the wire numbering, drawing Well, you will see the wire comes here to wire number comes here to I don't want that to happen because I want to add number only for my wires only for the layers which are no wire. So what I should do for that is here you can see all these are included in my wireless so if we want to remove one Among one for this, select this and to go to remove layer but you can see here now, I cannot remove this layer because this is selected as default right now. Okay, if you go and see this is my default there. Now I will change my layer, two wires going back, go back to schematic. And here now I select w Sorry, I will select some other wire w wire as my default. Okay, this is my default layer and you go select zero, remove this layer, yes.

Now you can delete if you want to keep only one layer, keep that you can delete, rust, remove all always better to use just what you need those wires You can put one particular layer for power wiring one another for control wiring and other for IoT that is totally left to you. Now this the see that zero layer is removed from my life my list now. Now, if I keeping the layer zero and if I draw a wire, then if I do see now the wire numbers are even here, I will delete the wire numbers. Okay, I'm deleting the whole wire numbers. Now while put the wire numbers still it is here. Why's that we check for that layer?

Fine. Go back. Read it. Oh zero still here. Why is meta default? 03 remove layer.

Yes. Okay. Why number driveway. Now you see, it's not coming straight come I will delete all the numbers. I'll put the driveway. Now the wire numbering come slowly to wireless not to zero days.

So this is how you can set D, you can create an edit. Same way you can change the wire type if you want to change the wire type and all you can do from here that is also very much possible add rents that will touch later delete bad numbers. So this is basically about inserting wires wire numbers and getting moving wire numbers. This is just a basic. So we will learn more about the wire numbers in the coming session and also signal destination arrows that will this destination arrow and so source arrow we will cover in the next session. Thank you.

Bye bye
