Charles Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 When stacking outlets or switches in elevation, the 2d plan symbols also stack Usually the electrician only uses the plan, not the elevation when doing his work and can easily miss this. Any way, other than creating a custom 2d block for each instance, of separating the 2d from the 3d object or is this wishful thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Have you considered using the Symbol Origin Offset. It is a little messy but should not need to be used that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Thanks Chopsaw this does the trick! For others in the future that may happen across this post, these are the steps to achieve what Chopsaw describes. Select the symbol to move and open the symbol specification. Change the X offset to whatever makes sense, here its 8". This is the result. Move the symbol over the amount you input, again 8" The final result. Hope this helps others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
