Joe_Carrick Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'm not sure why I'm responding to this thread.. The best I could come up with is the 2 attached Symbols. The problem is that when you place them you still have to rotate and move them so they are in contact with the cabinet. Then they look right in both 2D and 3D.

You confirmed the issue. An issue that has been an issue since I was a babe in diapers. I have a feeling headquarters will fix this soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'm thinking the amount of time spent on this post would allow for the manual fix of the outlet for the next 10 years. ;o)Yeah, it should work but........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbird1 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks Joe ... just curious Why your Horizontal outlet needs to be 4 1/8 depth ? though it doesn't show that way in 3D Both your Y axis's should be 4 7/16" BTW to get them to touch the cabinet.

MarkMc Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Do you guys really need the island outlets to be just right in your 3D island views? Curious Yeah- folks are surprised that they need outlets on the island for code and then I have to show them what they look like using various solutions, big issue with some (I see crazy people...) As to the plan view, contractors are overjoyed that a KD is even supplying an electric plan and has dealt with switch locations with the client. They could care less that the legs of the symbol are not exactly placed correctly. The outlet will still be placed on the surface no matter how it shows in plan. Mick- I used 4-3/8" which works. same problem Joe mentioned with rotating when pulling from library. Copy in place and reflect doesn't reflect the symbol as it does with others. I just moved the insertion point on the cad block- doesn't solve it but makes it easier to move to the cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Mark, "I just moved the insertion point on the cad block- doesn't solve it but makes it easier to move to the cabinet" That was the trick I needed when I made the two outlets earlier in the thread I guess , I will have to read up on it as I was not aware of that possibility. My symbols work just like Joe's , they need manual placement / alignment , I have not tried Reflecting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
