Inserting Ladders - Autodesk AUTOCAD ELECTRICAL 2005 Getting Started

Inserting Ladders

You can insert a ladder on a drawing at any time. A drawing may have
multiple ladders, as well as single-phase and three-phase ladders. The ladders
do not have to use the same parameters such as rung spacing, number of
rungs, and ladder width.
To insert a single-phase ladder
1 Click the Insert Ladder tool.
Menu
2 In the Alert dialog box, select Force this drawing's configuration setting to
match the project settings option, and then click OK.
Your existing drawing format automatically becomes compatible with AutoCAD
Electrical upon insertion of an invisible block, WD_M. Various settings are
stored as invisible attribute values on this block. When you invoke an AutoCAD
Electrical command and it does not find this invisible WD_M block on your
drawing, the command pauses and prompts you for permission to insert the
block automatically.
