AutoCAD Electrical - Creating a New 3-Pole Device in the Library

By Miles Nicholson

A 3 phase device is made up of a parent and 2 children symbols. The child must be named exactly the same as the parent except for the 4^th character. The 4^th character is either 1 for a parent or 2 for a child.

Therefore for 3 phase devices, where the child has the exact same name except for the 4^th character, in the Icon Menu Wizard, select  > 

Where the command line entry is:

wd_3unit <<name of parent block>>

For anything else where the 2^nd+ device does not have the same name, or is a mixture of components e.g. 3P+N then follow this article:
