Hi All,

I am trying to standardize PLC drawings which need to be automatically generated 1s I feed data in excel sheet.

Please let me know if there is any link available for  Video/PDF so by seeing/reading that i should be able to make PLC drawings in AutoCAD Electrical with less efforts.
is it possible to use our own blocks (which are only made up of lines and texts) and still make the PLC drawings Automatically????? if not then kindly let me know what changes i need to make in our existing drawings.

Thanks & Regards
Mahesh

Are you inquiring about the spreadsheet to PLC I/O utility command?

I don't see why you could not use your own blocks but if I recall correctly the blocks that come built into AutoCAD Electrical, when inserted, have a number of attributes.  Will your blocks have similar attributes?
