Lighting Group Blocks

Top  Previous  Next

When you add a light to a lighting group inside of Design Master, the program will place a lighting group designation next to the light fixture.  The default lighting group tag will look like this

lighting_group_blockoriginal

If you wish to customize the light fixture group block you must either redefine the existing block, or create a new block and tell the software to read the new block instead of the original.  There are two blocks, the first is for lighting groups 1-9, and the second is for lighting groups 10 and up.

To edit the existing graphic, open the dm_elec-ltgGroup1.dwg file.  Make the appropriate changes, then save and close the drawing.

Repeat this process with the dm_elec-ltgGroup10.dwg file.

When you add light fixtures to a lighting group, the block should now reflect your changes.

lighting_group_blocknew

To reference a different block entirely, go to

DM ElectricalarrowCustomizationarrowOptionsarrowEdit Project List

Expand the Light Fixture Options section of the Design Master Electrical Options dialog box.

lighting_group_blockedit

Browse to the new block.  Press OK.
