You start the Electrical task by clicking Tasks > Electrical. The Electrical task has the following task-specific commands:
Resets all commands and allows you to select objects in the model.
Provides selection commands on the shortcut menu that enable you to select part of a route network to modify.
Creates a new cableway, duct bank, or cable tray; extends an existing run; or routes to an end feature.
Creates a new conduit run or extends an existing run.
Adjusts the cableway to accommodate combinations of change in shape and size, manually places and modifies a transition, and indirectly changes a cross-section in the cableway routing.
Adds a component into a cableway or conduit run.
Auto Connect Cableways Command
Automatically places the fittings needed to connect a cableway. Zero spec cableway (Cws-0) is routed between existing cableways and the new cableway is automatically placed.
Selects any equipment from the Catalog and places it in the model and modifies the offset of the equipment and its relationships. You can mate, connect, or align equipment, and precisely position the equipment.
Creates a new cable run in the model. You define the properties of the cable run by defining the relationship of the cable run to other objects in the model, such as pieces of equipment or electrical cabinets.
Routes cables through the various cableway trunks and conduits that exist in the model. You can force the cable to go through a particular cableway or force the cable to detour a particular cableway.
Places cable markers at points along cableway or conduit features.
Places a splice plate or other type of split in the selected cable tray.
Renames objects in the selected conduit, cable tray, or WBS item such that the names are in order, based on topology.
Joins two existing cable tray or conduit segments in the model.
Assists the designer when routing cable by only showing objects of interest and hiding non-applicable objects in the model. This command is located on the View menu.
Displays a list of the retrieved cable schedule documents. This command is located on the SmartPlant menu.
Disconnects a section of route network, and enables you to modify its topology without disturbing the rest of the network. You access this command using Tools > Utilities > Disconnect (CTRL+ALT+D).
Reconnects disconnected sections of Smart Interop Object (SIO) runs to create a continuous run or reconnects the SIO cabling section to SIO or native Smart 3D equipment nozzles. To reconnect, click Tools > Utilities > Reconnect.
