Generate Rack Elevation Automatically
Generate a rack layout, simply by going to Layout command and choose Update Rack Elevation.
connectCAD creates a new layer called "rack elevation" and puts all the devices as EquipItem objects, along with all the info of each piece of equipment.
Add equipment racks using the 2D Rack tool on the Layout Tool palette and in the Object Info Palette set the size and name of each rack. Then simply drag and drop your equipment into the racks and watch them snap into place!
And there you have a rack elevation - straight forward, easy to understand!
If you want a more pictorial look in your Rack Elevations, you can add symbol graphics to resemble the faceplate of that particular device, or give it any other look you want.
