Design Master allows users to add panel schedule attributes from a selected list if the attribute is not already on the panel schedule.
To insert one line device schedule attribute, go to
DM Electrical CustomizationInsert One Line Device Schedule Attribute
For example, shorter wire size descriptions can be displayed for each circuit in the panel schedule. To use this feature, you need to add a new attribute to the block (in the actual drawing dwg file for schedule header, body and footer drawing located in Windows Explorer Design Master Software/Electrical folder. used for circuits in your panel schedule. The attribute should be called WIRE1 for odd circuits or taps and WIRE2 for even circuits.
One Line Device Schedule Block Creation
The recommended method of creating a new type of one line schedule is to modify an existing schedule rather than starting from scratch. Make a copy of all of the blocks from the schedule that is closest in appearance to the one that you want and modify them.
When one line schedules block are inserted in the drawing, no layers or text styles are changed. All of the customization of layers and colors, and text styles, alignments, and heights should be done directly in the individual blocks.
Insert One Line Device Schedule Attribute
Design Master places information from the database in specific attributes in the one line schedule blocks. This command allows you to place these attributes in your blocks. Select the field and insert the label in the same location where the data will be displayed. Once the attribute has been inserted, do not change the tag, as that is the value that Design Master will use to located it. You are free to modify the text style, height, alignment, and other appearance attributes as necessary.
The following fields are available to be inserted:
| • | Device Name: Name of the one line device as defined in the database. |
| • | Location: Location of the one line device as defined in the database. |
| • | Mounting: Mounting of the one line device as defined in the database. |
| • | Upstream Device 2: Second upstream device. This only applies to UPS and transfer switches. |
| • | Note 1 and Note 2: Notes as defined in the database. |
| • | Voltage, Bus Amps, Neutral Amps, AIC Rating, Main Amps, Lugs, IG Bus: All data as defined in the database. |
| • | Circuit: Breaker: The circuit breaker amps and poles. |
| • | Circuit: Description: The description of the circuit. |
| • | Circuit: Description End: Place this label where you wish the circuit description to be limited in length. |
| • | Circuit: Total Load: The total load in KVA of the circuit. It will include the load of all phases if it is a two or three phase load. |
| • | Circuit: Phase Load: The phase load in KVA of the circuit. |
| • | Circuit: Wire Size: The wire size of the circuit. |
| • | Total Lug Load: The total lug load in KVA. |
| • | Lug Load, Phase A, B, C: The lug load on each phase in KVA. |
| • | Phase A,B,C KVA: This is the connected KVA for each phase. |
| • | Phase A,B,C Amps (100%): This is the amps at 100% of connected load. |
| • | Phase A,B,C Amp Percentage: This is the percentage KVA of each phase compared to the average KVA of all phases. For example: Phase A Amp Percentage = Phase A Connected Amps *100 / (Sum of A,B, and C connected KVA). |
| • | Connected Lighting Load: The connected lighting load of the schedule in KVA. The other load types work in a similar manner. |
| • | Calculated Lighting Load: The calculated lighting load in KVA. The other load types work in a similar manner. |
| • | Kitchen Load Multiplier: The load multiplier for the kitchen load, as a percentage. The diversified and two custom load types also have a multiplier attribute that works in a similar manner. |
| • | Total Amps: Total average calculated amps per phase. |
