Inserting Rails

You can insert and specify cabinet rails.

Open the layout drawing for the location of the cabinet. The manufacturer parts allocated to the cabinet, ducts, rails, or accessories appear in the dockable panel.
  1. Insert rails using one of the following methods:
    • Right-click the rail reference and click Insert as rail .
    • Double-click the rail reference.
    If a symbol is associated with the manufacturer part, it is inserted. If no symbol is associated, a generic symbol (EW_2D_Rail) is inserted using the manufacturer's dimensions.
  2. To insert another symbol or edit a symbol:
    1. Click Other symbol to select another symbol different from the suggested symbol.
    2. Select the angle of rotation of the rail and adjust the direction of the insertion of the 2D footprint. Click the insertion point in the graphic interface.
  3. Optional: Select Hide background to place elements behind the new element.
  4. Enter the length in the dockable panel text field, or click a second point to set the length.
  5. Optional: Copy the rail.
    Copying a rail that already exists in the graphical interface automatically creates a new rail, identical to the original.
  6. Optional: Right-click the rail reference and click Add rail.
    1. From the manufacturer dialog box, select a new reference.
    2. Confirm the selection to insert the rail.
