- [Instructor] We have now pretty much finished
our custom created symbol,
one last thing we might want to throw in there
is the insertion point.
So that's just where it's going to be placed
when we click to add our new symbol.
So at default, the insertion point
is always on the origin here,
and we can kind of see the insertion point there,
but if I want to change it for whatever reason,
I can go to edit symbol, and insertion point here,
and place the insertion point wherever I'd like.
The key is generally you'd want an insertion point
on one of your electrical connection points,
it'll just make that easier
to make the electrical connection
when you're inserting your symbol.
So right now it's on the bottom one, that's fine,
maybe I'll just throw it on the top,
just to show the change.
And now you can see that my insertion point has changed
to this top left electrical connection point.
Now, we've finished our new symbol,
we've drawn out the symbol,
we've added the electrical connection points,
and we've added the attributes.
So let's now just test it out in a project.
So, one important thing to note here,
this is a DWG file, so it's a little bit different
than the rest of our electrical files.
So I'm actually going to need to save this.
Everything else is automatically being updated
to the data base.
Any custom symbols or title blocks or things like that
that we build, those are DWGs, they do need to be saved out.
So I just need to hit the save button up here,
or, it's actually okay even if you don't,
because if I just try to close out of this symbol editor,
for example, if I just try to exit out, even without saving,
it's going to give me a nice prompt saying,
are you sure you want to exit, do you want to save those changes
to this custom fuse?
So, in this case, of course, yes, I want to save this out.
So now I've saved that out, it is a part of my library,
so I can search it and add it to any project I'd like.
So let's say I just wanted to throw in that fuse,
hopefully it should jump in right on these lines,
all the connection points should be fine,
since I used that quarter inch spacing,
everything like that.
Let's try it out, let's jump into schematic tab,
insert symbol, going to browse for my symbol,
should be in fuses, I can search for it,
but I think it was given the name Justin's Custom Fuse,
here it is right here.
And I can say select,
and now there's the symbol I've just created,
you can see there's my insertion point,
and looks like it should line up nicely.
Looks like it's jumping right to those wires there
with the quarter inch spacing.
And I'll just place it wherever I'd like,
maybe somewhere here.
It's going to ask me for the symbol properties,
I'm going to call it F one for the fuse.
I'm actually going to automatically
throw in a manufacturer part,
so we can see some more attributes come in.
So I'm going to go to the manufacturer parts
circuits tabs here,
search for a specific manufacturer part.
I'll go into my fuses, search all my fuses here,
maybe I'll just use this Semens fuse here,
it looks like everything's looking in the green state,
which is nice, looks like the connection points I created,
I named them as Fuse, they're lining up with this
specific manufacturer part.
And some of this information should come in
to my attributes as well.
Double click, add this, and say okay.
And now you can see
those attributes automatically being populated,
so I'm getting the terminal numbers come in automatically,
one two three four five six,
those are the terminal numbers again,
coming from that specific Semens fuse manufacturer part
that I'll be purchasing,
and I have my F one tag, or attribute,
the name of the fuse let's say,
as well as the part number,
so here's the part number,
of the specific Semens part that I'll be purchasing,
and I also threw in a current rating app,
so this one looks like 25 amps or whatever it might be.
So again, the attributes you can customize
within the symbol, throw in as many or as few,
really whatever information you'd like
coming in automatically with each of your symbols.
