You can edit the Generic design library to suit your needs or create a new design sheet. The Generic sheet has standard equipment sizes. If your design needs to have a limited number of equipment sizes, you can delete sizes you don’t want to include or change the sizes to desired values. For example, if you will not be using all the possible sizes of cables, you can customize the library such that only some preferred cable sizes are used. Similarly, if some of your motors have sizes not listed in the Generic sheet, you can add new motor HP data.
In the left window of the library, right-click on US and select Insert New Sheet from the context menu. A new design sheet is created. You can rename this sheet.
Right-click on the name of the design sheet you want to copy and select Copy Sheet from the context menu. This copies the contents of the design sheet to the clipboard. Right-click on US and click Paste New Sheet. You can rename the new sheet.
You can export a design sheet as a file so that it can be imported to another computer or another library. Right-click on the name of sheet you want to export and click Export Sheet. It will be saved as an .XLZ file. To import a design sheet, right-click on US and select Import Sheet. Select the file you want to import from and select Open.
To insert a new row to a spreadsheet in the design sheet, right-click on the leftmost numbered header of the row above which you want to insert the new row, and click Insert Row.
For motors and transformers you can add new voltages that are not already listed. Click the Add New button to enter the new voltage. This creates a new spreadsheet.
To delete any row, delete the first cell in that row and press ENTER.
Press CTRL+Z.
The spreadsheet cells can be edit fields, lists, or calculated fields. Type the desired values in the edit fields (for example, Motor HP). The lists are for items that need to be selected from equipment already defined in the library, such as cable descriptions, or protective device descriptions. Calculated fields cannot be edited but are based on entered values.
