In this example, we are going to set up a record within the Schematic Lookup database (schematic_lookup.mdb) for a Circuit Breaker:ģ-Pole Circuit Breaker – Eaton EGB3070FFGġ. We then can select a component from the ‘Icon Menu’ or ‘Just Like’.

If no mapping exists for the catalogue record within the Schematic Lookup database, you will receive the' none found' status. When inserting the schematic component from the panel list, AutoCAD Electrical will use the Schematic Lookup database to see if there is a mapped schematic component or command.

This command can be found within the Schematic Tab > Insert Components (Panel) > Icon Menu (Drop Down). AutoCAD Electrical allows users to link the component information from panel footprints to schematic components via the ‘panel list’ command in this scenario. However, some organisations will create the panel layouts first to ensure fitment requirements are met before proceeding to the schematic design phase. In most instances, the electrical schematics would be created initially, and the information within the schematic components can be linked to the panel footprints, an example of this being the manufacturer information and component descriptions.
