| Introduction Thank you for your interest in the Electrical eKit by ARCHIdigm. Before you decide to purchase this product we would like to inform you about what you get and how it works so you don't end up buying something you don't want. The first and most important aspect of this kit that you need to be clear about is that it is not a software product and it does not do anything on its own. Basically, this kit is a library of Styles designed exclusively for for Autodesk®'s AutoCAD Architecture 2011 and up CAD program. The second important aspect of this kit that we want to make clear is the philosophy behind its structure. We created it out of pure necessity to fill a void in the default Library of Styles that come with ACA and fought with the native Object Style Properties to produce the best compromises we could come up with. |

2D MvBlocks The 2D MvBlocks in this product were designed to update the old electrical symbols found in AutoCAD Architecture's stock library. The improvements we made include consistent Attribute Tags (2 for every symbol), Text Style control for Attribute Tags and the "S" in switch symbols and Annotative Scaling. All of our symbols have been placed on a single Tool Palette with tools for drawing power lines and other related tasks. |
|
||||||
| 3D MvBlocks The 3D MvBlocks in this product were designed to provide the type of results you would expect in AutoCAD Architecture: 2D Symbols in Plans and 3D Blocks in 3D Views, Elevations and Sections. The one limitation, however, is that AutoCAD Architecture does not provide a way to have Annotative Scaled Blocks combined with non-Annotative Scaled Blocks in one MvBlock. In other words, the 2D Symbols for the 3D MvBlocks are fixed at a scale of 1/4" = 1'-0" (1:48). |

| The Content The entire kit was designed to work with ACA's Tool Palettes, as illustrated to the right, and after installation you simply assemble one or more Palettes as you see fit by dragging content out of the Electrical eKit Catalog (from the Content Browser).

CAD
and IT Managers: Some offices have highly customized template files with unique Display Representations, Sets and Configurations that may not work with our kit. We designed this kit for optimum performance using the default template files that come with ACA but all that means is that we utilized the High, Medium, Low and Presentation Display Configurations. The Object Style files are devoid of undesirable Layers, Colors and Plot Styles. Installation Issues |
