  10. Close the dialog by clicking OK.

All the group feeders are shown on the Feeders tab in the top part of the group dialog. you can create several feeders for the group by copying the group marks in the layout drawing.

You can view the distribution boards and groups in the Electrical window, in the Distribution boards and feeders tree. Expand the tree by clicking the + signs, to find the group mark below the <SUPPLY> device. This is the busbar in the distribution board, and you can change the ID as desired.

The icon indicates an incoming feeder. Each busbar needs an incoming feeder.

The icon indicates an outgoing feeder. A busbar can have individual feeders that are not groups.

An incoming or an outgoing feeder becomes a group when it is given a group number. A group can have several incoming and outgoing feeders, and the all have the same group number.

Select a group from the tree, and right-click the group number or the feeder and select Insert group marking into drawing.
