Fitting is about reconciling the lengths of length-variable items placed in parallel to each other (wire ducts, mounting rails, busbars, C horizontal rails, user-defined rails) with selectable points and edges. Possible uses are:
- All rails and wire ducts of varying lengths placed on a mounting panel are drawn towards an edge of the mounting panel in a suitable manner in a single work step.
- All rails and wire ducts of varying lengths placed next to a vertical wire duct are drawn towards it in a suitable manner in a single work step.
- All rails and wire ducts of varying lengths placed between two vertical wire ducts are drawn towards them in a suitable manner in two work steps.
Preconditions:
- You have opened a project.
- The layout space navigator is open and a layout space is open.
- The layout space contains several length-variable items.
- Select the Edit > Graphic > Fit rails / wire ducts menu items.
- Select the items to be fitted by surrounding them with a rectangle.
- Move the cursor over the edge of a vertical wire duct or over the side section of the mounting panel.
When the cursor touches a suitable edge, it is highlighted. If the cursor touches a suitable point, it is displayed as a highlighted square. - Click to select the desired point or edge.
The selected items are lengthened or shortened jointly up to the selected edge / selected point.
