You can use the Electrical customizable feature resource to create conductors with customized types and attributes.

Important: You cannot add multiple customized types to a conductor.

Before you begin:

  • Assign your know-how apps components to a resource table in the Electrical Features Customization resources resource set.

    For more information, see Data Setup User's Guide: Creating a Resource Table.

  • Open a product containing an electrical physical system.
  1. From the Conductor section of the action bar, click Conductor .

    The Conductor Creation dialog box appears.

  2. Define the properties of the conductor.

    For more information, see Inserting Conductors.

  3. Under Customized Conductor Type Selection, click Conductor Type.

    Important: The command is unavailable if:
    • No resource is assigned in Electrical customizable feature.
    • No customized type in Electrical customizable feature corresponds to a Conductor type.

    The Types Browser dialog box appears. Under the Conductor node, the available customized types are displayed in hierarchical order.
  4. Select a customized type, and then click OK.

    Tip: You can type a string in the Filter box to search for a type.

    In the Conductor Creation dialog box, the name of the selected customized type appears next to Customized Conductor.

    The customized conductor is created. In the tree, under the conductor's node, a node displays the name of the selected customized type and its attributes (Variables node).

    • In the Conductor Creation dialog box, right-click the customized type and select Reset Type.
