  1. Click Place Equipment Command to display the Select Equipment Dialog.

  2. Locate the equipment type using the tree view. Expand the nodes for the general type of equipment that you need, continuing until a list of available parts appears in the catalog window.

  3. In the list view, select the equipment object.

  4. Click OK on the Select Equipment Dialog to display the Equipment Properties Dialog.

  5. Define properties as needed, and then click OK to return to the workspace and place the equipment.

  6. Click in a graphic view to select the mounting surface and approximate position for the object. Press the left and right arrow keys as needed to rotate the equipment by 90-degree increments at any time during the placement of the equipment. Press the up arrow key to scroll through the three possible axes of rotation. Press the down arrow key to scroll to each datum point.

  7. Using the Place Equipment Ribbon, do any of the following, if needed:

    1. Set an offset for the relationship by specifying the distance in the Offset box.

    2. Click Properties on the ribbon, and type any necessary property information in the grid provided.

    3. Add or change a positioning relationship by selecting it from the Relationship list on the Place Equipment Ribbon.

    4. Select a system with which to associate the new object in the System box.

If you intend to use an object for routing cable, you must not model that object as equipment. For example, a pull box should be created in the catalog data as a conduit fitting, not a piece of equipment. Otherwise, the object will render conduit networks useless for cable routing every time it is used.
