Fitting Length-variable Items

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.
  • You have opened the layout space navigator and a layout space.
  • The layout space contains several length-variable items.
  1. Select the following commands: Tab Edit > Command group Graphic > Fit.
  2. Select the items to be fitted by surrounding them with a rectangle.
  3. 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.
  4. Click to select the desired point or edge.

    The selected items are lengthened or shortened jointly up to the selected edge / selected point.
