madcowscarnival Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Is there a way to simply tell Chief Architect a pline (2'x4' rectangle) that it should be recognized as an electrical lighting object so that it will connect electrical runs? I need to demonstrate a basic lighting plan in a large open barn where they will be using 2'x4' hanging high-bay LED's. I did find the "short double recessed tube lighting" that will work for the symbol, and can edit that object, but might want to create a 12" diameter high-output LED basic symbol too. To clarify my question. Is it possible to draw a basic shape, perform a special conversion, and assign it as an electrical object? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yes absolutely. Just convert to symbol and choose Electrical - Show Advanced Options and you can make anything a Electrical - Light and then add Light Data if you like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcowscarnival Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Chopsaw, thank you. I was looking for the convert to symbol button, but it was not available until I converted my basic cad to a plinesolid, then to symbol. Excellent, I appreciate it.
