tommy1 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 there are some horiz. outlets in the lib. But not GFIs or GFCIs I believe. CAD user, if you call me. I can show you online what I do. For your other post concerning wall alignment, I could show you a little secret for that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chief58 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Perry you are correct just didn't have the time then, what I did was place a symbol in the plan then selected it, select the open symbol icon the one with the chair and pencil under rotation at the bottom select the y axis, then rotate 90 deg either left or right, then I save it to MY electrical lib that I have in my user catalog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreTrout Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Select the switch and use open symbol. Select rotate about y-axis. Select "rotate +" or "rotate -" depending on which way you want the switch to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Perry is right we need to know how it was done otherwise we don't learn. So Thank you both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
