After creating and inserting receptacles, Design Master will generate a Receptacle Project Schedule that can be inserted into the drawing.
To insert this schedule into the drawing, go to
DM Electrical
ReceptaclesInsert Receptacle Project Schedule
The Receptacle Project Schedule dialog box will appear.
Checking Show Unused Receptacles will cause Design Master to list the information for receptacles that are in the Receptacle Project Schedule database but have not been inserted in the project. Notes typed into the Schedule Notes field will appear underneath the schedule on the drawing. These notes may be as long as needed. If you decide that the default schedule layout is fine, or if you have previously edited the schedule layout and do not need to make further changes, press OK. Otherwise press Edit Column Labels and Order. The Receptacle Schedule Label Display and Order dialog box will open.
This dialog box allows you to customize how you want the schedule to appear on the drawing. Each row of the dialog box will become a column in the schedule on the drawing. You may select which information you want to display by checking or un-checking in the boxes in the "Display" column. You may change the width of the columns in the drawing schedule by double-left clicking on the cell in the dialog box. You may change the label that will be at the head of each column in the drawing schedule by double-left clicking on the cell in the dialog box.
The following table explains more about the options available to you.

After all desired labels and categories have been set, press the OK button. Design Master will ask for an insertion point for the schedule. Select a location for the upper left-hand corner of the schedule. (If you are re-inserting a schedule, press enter and Design Master will replace the existing schedule with the new one, using the same insertion point as was used previously.) Design Master will insert the Receptacle Project Schedule into the drawing and the command is complete.
Design Master does not automatically update the Receptacle Project Schedule graphic after additions or changes to receptacles are made. To update or move the schedule after placing it, you must re-insert it using this same process. You do not need to delete the old schedule, as Design Master will automatically erase the old one when re-inserting a new one.
Each time you insert a Receptacle Project Schedule graphic into the drawing, Design Master will assume that you wish to have the same labels and categories that were used previously in that drawing. This can be changed as discussed above whenever the schedule is re-inserted.
If you have manually inserted graphics, such as revision clouds, over the schedule graphic, always be certain to check their location after updating the schedule.
Another way to edit the labels and categories included in the Receptacle Project Schedule graphic is to use the Receptacle Schedule Label Options command under customization.
