Define and insert light fixtures

Layout tab > Devices group > Symbols
  Layout tab > Devices group >  Symbol functions menu > Light fixtures menu > Light fixture

With these functions, you can create a light fixture symbol according to your own definitions. If you want, you can save the symbol to your own symbols to be used later.

Do the following:

  1. Start the function in one of the following ways:

    • In the Symbols window, select the (User's symbols) tab, click the arrow next to the The Save user symbol button in the Symbols window (Save user symbol) button and select Define light fixture.

    • On the ribbon, select the Layout tab > Devices group >  Symbol functions menu > Light fixtures menu > Light fixture.

    • In the device or product model property dialog, open the Symbol selection dialog and select Electric > Light fixtures > Definitions and then Define light fixture.

      The information will be saved as device or product model properties.

    The Light fixture dialog opens.

  2. Enter the definitions for the light fixture.

    • You can also define size data for the light fixture. The symbol saved in the menu then already has the size data, and there is no need to define it separately.

    • If you want to save the symbol to your own symbols, select Add to menu and enter a description in the Tip text field. The symbol will then be available on the (User's symbols) tab both in the Symbols window and the Symbol selection dialog.

  3. Indicate the position of the light fixture in the drawing.
