Light: Connect Electrical Layer set up

[EllaFioletova]

How to set up different layer for connect electrical? i need to show wich outlets stay on one wire,  wich on other  , and separate this information from ceiling light connection.

You should be able to open the dialog for the electrical connection and assign it to any layer you want.

Now is a good time to learn to make new layers for your specific needs in controlling visibility of objects.  Click on "New" and type in your new layer's name.

I created separate layers for different types of connections.

My question was how to assign the specific layer I need as the default for connections.

I handle layers for the actual electrical elements easily in the settings.

I can't found this setting (((

Select the electrical connection.  Use the "open object" tool.  In the dialog, go to the "line style" page.  You should be able to change the layer from the default "electrical connections" to whatever you want.

 

If you don't have the open button or the line style panel, then my only guess is that you are not using X15 Premier.

@EllaFioletova As you can probably assume, this is a manual process. You have to draw out all your connections, select the ones you want to set to a different layer, open them and manually change the layer they're on. Super frustrating that there's no defaults for the electrical connections. Sure would make this type of thing loads easier.
