Comprehensive Electrical ISS and custom symbols...

Andy Thomson
Advisor
Here at Altius we are just finding a need to have a faster, smarter way of doing electrical schedules. We are considering some kind of meta-part/object that can take whatever name/polygon boundary we need, where the object ID can read from the centre of the object, and be called in the ISS.

I have all the standard NCS, and Cadimage symbols, but they are mere 'dumb' symbols, or not graphically representative of conventions in the US and Canada. Can anyone recommend an approach, object, or scheduling methodology?

This is primarily for large, high-end residential, but also hi-rise residential work....

Archigon Rock! Good job Andy & James.

For the sake of discussion, I'll post a simple 2d Object that make full use of FRAGMENT2.

Everyone is welcome to try and see if this approach can be an alternative solution.......
