How to: Generate multiple symbols at one position (Symbol group)

Not version-specific

Stabicad

Context: Sometimes multiple symbols are stacked (for example, multiple sockets). You want to avoid drawing them visually on top of each other, but they must be counted correctly for your bill of materials and schedule.

Workflow: Follow the steps below to generate a symbol multiple times at the same position:

Place any symbol (for example, a socket), or start with a symbol that is already present in the drawing.
From the Palette Container, open the "StabiTOOLS" palette and go to the "Modify" (Wijzigen) tab.
Click on the function "Generate or modify symbol group".
Select the symbol that needs to be generated multiple times.
Specify how many symbols should be generated on top of each other. (Note: the existing symbol is included in this count).
Position the attribute that indicates how many symbols are stacked.
The specified number of symbols is now recorded in the database and will therefore be correctly visible in the material report and the panel schedule.
