Details on Configuration - 3D Electric Cable Trays
Information about the 3D Electric Cable Trays tab in the LINEAR configuration.
Here you can make presettings for drawing 3D cable ducts.
You are here:
Cable duct
Specifies the relevant dimensions for the cable duct.
Section length
Specifies the section length for ducts in mm.
Extensions
Specifies the extension for transitions in mm.
Inner radius
Specifies the inner radius for bends in mm.
Length of reducers
Specifies the value suggested in the length field in the dialog box for transitions.
Length swan necks
Specifies the value suggested in the length field in the dialog box for swan necks.
Connector tool tip
Define which information should be displayed when connecting to a component. The duct type, its dimensions and the construction heights of the upper edge and bottom edge of the duct are available for selection. The tooltip appears when the draw command is active and you place the crosshairs on the connector arrow without clicking.
Distances for storey snap
During vertical construction, you can "snap" the reference edges Upper edge floor and Bottom edge ceiling with an adjustable distance by pressing the Ctrl key. These distances can be determined here.
Tolerance
Determines the tolerance for the distance between two ducts, in which two duct connections are still recognized as connected in the design with AutoCAD. When duct components are moved, other components whose connections are within this tolerance limit are also moved. The tolerance is only taken into account for duct connections that have the same dimensions or the same nominal widths and are aligned or slightly offset to each other.
After changing this value, AutoCAD must be restarted for the changes to take effect.
Passage height
Adjust the height in mm which is to be kept free during the height distance to passage height.
Duct cast shadow
Specifies whether shadows are created for the ducts in the drawing.
