How to: Generate a panel schedule and manage panels in AutoCAD
Not version-specific
Stabicad
Context A panel schedule clearly indicates what is in a distribution board, including the number of circuits, protections, sockets, and fixtures with their corresponding power. In Stabicad, you can generate this schedule automatically based on your floor plan drawing.
Workflow: Read installation data and generate schedule
- In the Stabicad Lighting palette, go to the Tools tab and click on Manage installation.
- In the Read Installation Data window, choose whether to read data from the Current drawing or Other file(s), and click OK.
- The Installation Overview will now open. Expand the tree structure (via the plus sign) to view the panels (e.g., LK1) and underlying circuits.
- Select the distribution board (the panel) to fill in the properties, such as the description, Spare capacity (e.g., 20%), and the number of Protections.
- Optional: To adjust the diversity factor, select the desired categories at the bottom under Total number of symbols on panel, right-click and choose Modify. Enter the new percentage (e.g., 60).
- Set the schedule to Draw or Draw & Close to actually generate the panel schedule next to your floor plan in the drawing.
