Drafting

The articles in this section provide helpful tips and tricks related to the Design Master Electrical entities that appear on your drawings.

📄️ Curved Walls

Curved lines for Design Master Electrical entities such as room and photometric boundary outlines can only be approximated using multiple points.

📄️ Multiple Scales on a Single Drawing

Our software does not allow for multiple scale factors on a single drawing, also called annotative scaling.

📄️ How Design Master Sets Layers

Layers are controlled using the Layers customization commands.

📄️ Customizing Panel Schedules

Calculation and circuit schedules for panels and other distribution equipment are made up of custom blocks that can be modified to suit your needs.

📄️ Updating Homeruns Without Losing Loop Customization

If you change how loops are laid out, the Draw Homerun and Loops command will overwrite the changes. Use these commands instead.

📄️ Layers Used for Circuit Loops

The layers used by circuit loops can be determined in several locations, including at the distribution equipment level, at the circuit level, and in the Options and Layers commands.

📄️ How to Use or Create a Custom Equipment Callout

You can customize the information displayed in equipment callouts, along with how custom equipment callouts look.

📄️ How to Make Dashed Conduits and Cable Trays

You can set your conduits and cable trays to be drawn with dashed lines using the Layers customization command.

📄️ Column Subheadings in Schedules

You can create groups of column headings and subheadings in schedules on the drawing.

📄️ Using Dynamic Blocks for Devices

You can make your dynamic blocks usable in Design Master Electrical with a few easy steps.

📄️ Stacked Fractions in CAD Labels

You can use in-line formatting to display some Design Master Electrical values as stacked fractions when they appear on the drawing.
