Hello, I am currently using version x12 for work and want to put in electrical outlets on the walls for placement, however I am having difficulty with figuring out a set distance from the wall horizontally. I know the center height can be adjusted, but can the center length be adjusted too?

I'm not sure I really understand what you are trying to do.  Are you trying to position an outlet along the wall or away from the wall surface?  Or are you trying to use the "auto place outlets" tool?

 

If you want to position it away from the wall, you should be able to set the "distance from wall" to something bigger than 0.

 

If you want to position it along the wall, you could always draw a manual dimension to it so you can set the exact distance from something else.  You might need to turn on "electrical" in your locate object settings for your dimensions.  You could also place one and then use the transform/replicate tool to position copies.

 

If your problem is with the auto place outlet tool, I don't think there is a way to set the distances and that tool just does whatever the program thinks will work.  You can always move them afterwards though.

 

I think these would all be the same in X12 but it's been a while...
