Adding Multiple Instruments to Your Panel Design
Adding multiple instruments simultaneously is a valuable feature available exclusively to Panel Designer Premium users. To efficiently incorporate several instruments into your panel design, begin by opening the specific panel you intend to work on. Once the panel is open, use the search function to locate the instrument you wish to add multiples of to your design.
Next, access the Add Multiple Instruments tool by double-clicking on the desired instrument from the search results within the Panel Designer. This action will trigger a popup dialog where you can customize the arrangement of your instruments. In the dialog, you will need to specify the number of rows you want, the number of instruments per row, as well as the vertical and horizontal spacing between them, measured in inches.
For example, if your project requires two rows of ten circuit breakers each, you would set the following;
Number of rows to 2
Instruments per row to 10
Both vertical and horizontal spacing to 0.25 inches
After configuring these settings to match your design requirements, click the Add button. This will insert a total of twenty circuit breakers into the designer window, automatically grouped together for your convenience. These grouped instruments can then be easily dragged and dropped onto your panel template in the desired locations. This method not only significantly saves time but also ensures that all instruments are consistently spaced and neatly organized within your panel design, maintaining a professional and orderly layout.
By utilizing the Add Multiple Instruments tool, you streamline the design process, allowing for rapid and precise placement of multiple components. This feature enhances both the efficiency and accuracy of your panel designs, making it easier to achieve a clean and organized final product.
