fabdulla Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I am a beginner and I would like to know how would you have a arc across two wires in AutoCad 2008 electrical. When i used wires and they cross each other they create a gap I would like and arc from one over the other when they cross. Any suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFish Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 When i used wires and they cross each other they create a gap I would like and arc from one over the other when they cross. Any suggestion It has been my experience when using the insert wires command that it can be a bit tempermental when deciding it will put in gaps. If you draw two wires crossing and it doesn't insert the arc for the gap, then you can use the insert wire gap command or AEWIREGAP. Also, if you have a bend in the wire that is needing the gap to close to where it needs to insert it, then you need to adjust your wire somehow to where it will have enough room for the length of the arc. I hope I answered your question, if you need more help just let us know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i used wires and they cross each other they create a gap I would like and arc from one over the other when they cross. Any suggestion Try right clicking on the project in project manager. Click on properties. Go to the Styles tab. At bottom left is that option. Then you have to apply project settings to each drawing. To do that, have your active project open. hightlight all drawings by holding down alt as you click on them. Right click and apply project defaults.

ziemerd Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Electroman7979 I think you want to highlight the first drawing then scroll down to the bottom and hold the shift key down and select the bottom drawing. This will select all the drawings. Is this what you were saying or am I missing something, which very well could be the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
