Modifying Electrical Equipment

After you have finished the electrical system layout and checked the calculations for the final design, typically
you verify the electrical equipment in the drawing and, if necessary, add or modify equipment. You might
also need to do so during the design process due to changes in the requirements.
Changes to equipment might require changes to the associated circuit. For information about modifying
circuits, see
RELATED See
To modify electrical equipment
1 Select the part to modify, click Equipment tab
2 In the Multi-view Part Modify dialog, modify the part:

Modifying Cable Trays and Conduits

Typically, cable tray and conduit runs are modified frequently during the design process due to architectural
or structural changes, or modifications to the system requirements. For example, if the architect increases
the overall size of the building, the cable tray layout needs to be modified to accommodate the new size.
Cable tray sizes might increase, additional conduits might be added, or you might need to re-route the wiring
for the new building size. You might also need to modify fittings, particularly when branches are resized or
devices connected to conduit are changed.

Modifying the Layout of a Cable Tray or Conduit Run

You can change the layout of a cable tray or conduit run using grips or AutoCAD
or STRETCH.
To change the layout of a cable tray or conduit run

then...
select a different subtype in the part type folder. Then click Details to view
the list of available part sizes, and optionally filter the list according to specify
criteria on the Part Filter tab. For example, you can filter the list by connection
type and size.
NOTE While you can change the part subtype, you cannot change
the part type. To replace the part with one of a different type, erase
the part and add a new one.
select a different size for Part Size Name.
