Insert Distribution Equipment Schedule Attribute

The Insert Distribution Equipment Schedule Attribute command is used when customizing distribution equipment schedule blocks. This command is used to insert attributes that will be filled in with a Design Master value when the distribution equipment schedule is inserted or updated on the drawing.

To insert a distribution equipment schedule attribute, go to
Ribbon: DME: Customization→Block Creation→Insert Distribution Equipment Schedule Attribute
Pulldown Menu: DM Electrical→Customization→Block Creation→Insert Distribution Equipment Schedule Attribute

Panel Schedule Attributes Dialog Box

The dialog box is a list of attributes you can insert. Two values are listed in each row. The first value is a description of the attribute. The second value, in parenthesis, is the label of the attribute on the drawing. Use this value to compare what is already on your drawing with what is available to be inserted.

Dynamic load calculation footers were added to distribution equipment schedules in Design Master Electrical 8.5. Prior to that release, the attributes described below were used to display load calculations in static footers. See the New Electrical 8.5 Features article in the knowledge base for more information about dynamic footers.

Using static footers is not recommended. Your load calculations are more likely to display incorrect values if you use static footers. If you choose to create and use your own static footers, the load type attributes described below are available for that purpose.
