Hi, i'm woundering what the best way to create a cable is?
Currently i'm drawing my wires and then I have to enter every wire individually and assign the correct cable to it.
It can be quite alot of work depending on how many cables exist in the dropdown menu and how many wire's I have to assign.
Is there any way to create and a cable and have all wires appear on the drawing or something?
In my wiring diagram, there is no component called CON11.
However, when I generate reports, CON11 shows up in the Cross References report. This component also shows up in the BOM report.
I see CON11 in the Manage Components popup, which says it's located in /2.C9. When I look in that location, there is blank space. I've tried deleting the nearby components to see if CON11 was hidden under them. It's not.
I can't find CON11 anywhere! Why is it in the reports? Please advise
It would be nice to be able to increase (or decrease) a component's line size. I was able to do this in previous versions of Electra (E7) with one of the built in MS Visio options. I like to increase the components' line size so that the components on the print appear "bold" compared to the wires. This makes it easy to differentiate components from the wires when one looks at the print.
Could you add the Reference (Designator) to the Bill of Materials. It would be helpful for troubleshooting the auto generated report for duplicates.
Once I created my custom components, it appears that they are sorted as they are added. Could you add an auto sort by name algorithm. Thank you!
It would be very helpful to have the ability to create my own Database Category or a Favorites Category where it defaults ALWAYS to the top of the list! 
This way I can specific part numbers that we use and have them easily organized. Some times I have specific parts that I can easily find without having to search through every single one to find that I accidently put it in the wrong Category.
If a 80 mm x 80 mm square is differenced by a 15mm x 15 mm the overall size is decreased to 79.2mm. Realistically, the size does not matter...its whenever the difference is function is used the final size is always affected. It is very bazar because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Workaround:
What is going on Radica!??!?
Issue:
When Managing Databases is selected and a custom component is drawn and selected; the user created stencil will never resolve while getting the layout shapes size with the message "Generating layout shape's dimensions..."
The issue is reputable with no matter how complex or simple the drawing is. Possibly, I am doing something incorrect.
Work Around:
There is a work around, and this involves manually entering in the shapes NAME and DIMENSIONS into the Manage Components section. Once it is created there then it allows me to go back and reuse it. However, if there are chances to be made the Manage Databases area will reproduce the same error. Therefore, any changes made you will have to redo that stencil object over the entire drawing that use that particular layout. It is very time consuming to go back and have to redo it.
Please help resolve this!
Hi All,
I currently have a drawing which has a fuse terminal, however I have an issue where as the wire number before the fuse terminal is the same as after the fuse terminal. If I change the wire number before or after the terminal, the other changes with it. I need these numbers to be unique, if a modification were made to a panel, there is no distinguishable difference between an unfused supply and a fused supply.. Any suggestions?
Would it be possible to add a feature that renames wires with the same name as connected terminals?
If I have a wire lets say 10 connected to terminal 10.
I then rearrange the terminals so terminal 10 is now 15.
I want the wire to also change name to 15.
Hi Guys,
Can I request a feature ( If not already available? )
Would it be possible to add a connector sub-menu with a set of accessories (i.e. pin part number, wire seal part number, seal plug part number for each cavity) that can be exported later in the electrical connections report or in a connectors report, please?
Many thanks in advance,
RP
Hi Electra Team,
It would be great to be able to zoom in and out with the mouse wheel just like in Visio or many other programs.
It makes things much quicker.
Thank you
Hi Guys,
Can I request a feature ( If not already available? )
On our drawings we like to add the last used wire number and also the last used terminal number to the Title block to aid anyone modifying the control panel in the future.
Is this possible to add a dynamic field within the Title Block to show these values??
Many thanks,
Ian.
I can't drag and drop any files
you can see here a test file than I drag
Is there a way of rotating wire numbers and links?
Do you guys have any idea on how to import stencil from Electra Cloud to Electra E9?
When exporting an Electrical Connections Report leading zeros are removed from the wire name. I wish to use 4-digit wire names and use the exported file to create labels. Is this a bug or a setting?
Hey guys, in need of help here, how do I import my drawings from EC to E9? And E9 to EC?
