The displayed sheet is now displayed and is pre-set with the correct parameters. The second option is to go to the bottom of the dropdown menu and select the required drawing sheet size and hit ‘Enter’. This will set the correct Snap value and other parameters. The first one is to import or develop your own drawing sheet, in which case, right click on the appropriate Menubar heading and from the dropdown menu, right click on “Parameters”. Having decided which symbol library to use, there are now two options.

On the other hand if (Met) symbols are used on Imperial sized sheets, then they will appear oversized. Selecting the wrong library will result in “mini sized” electrical symbols if (Imp) symbols are used on Metric sized sheets. If you are using Standard sized drawing sheets, use the (Imp) version and if using Metric sized drawing sheets, use the (Met) version. In the video above we are using the ASNI Y32.2 Symbol Library. In the menu this is shown as ” Y32.2 (Imp)” and the Metric version as ” Y32.2 (Met)”. The electrical symbols come in two versions – Imperial and Standard version. The above exercise should give you an idea as to how to create a simple electrical circuit layout using our Electrical Symbols for ANSI Y32.2 & IEC 617.
