This procedure explains how to display a notation in your cable block diagrams that will specify the filter settings used in an open CBD. You add a special macro to a document template and the software will display the notation on all the CBDs that use this template. For example:

CBDFilter_2a

  1. In Catalog Manager or SmartSketch, open the appropriate title block symbol that is used in your cable block diagram template.

    SHARED Tip The software supplies a number of shipped templates with title blocks (.sym files) in the reference data.

  2. In the open title block symbol, add the following macro text:

    &Document.Filters

    You can insert the macro anywhere in the template depending on where you want the notation to appear in your CBDs.

  3. Save the modified title block and close Catalog Manager.

  4. In Smart Electrical, select File > New > Template and create a template using the title block you just created in Catalog Manager.

    If the template contains a title block, select it and then delete it.

  5. Select Insert > Symbol.

  6. Select the .sym file to which you added the Document.Filters macro.

  7. Select an appropriate X point in the template to insert the title block symbol.

  8. Save and close the template.

  • All the cable block diagrams based on the modified template will display the filter settings notation.

  • If you open a CBD that is not filtered, the software will not display the notation.
