Customizing Project Manager window - AutoCAD Electrical
November 13, 2008, 06:15 PM Nate HoltUser email waiting in my in-box this morning... which triggers this follow-up to the "super project" work-around idea presented a couple days ago. User's question: how to get the special drawing + "cell code" value into the project manager pick list as illustrated in that posting?
The last posting dealt with a work-around to break a huge (i.e. slow) project into smaller electrical drawing subsets that can be worked on, for the most part, as independent AutoCAD Electrical projects (link here)

How to display extra information for each drawing listed in the Project Manager:
1. Pick on this button in Project Manager window (next to last button shown in the button row below).
2. Displays the “Drawing List Display Configuration” dialog. Move the “Installation Code” value over into the right-hand window. Hit OK.
3. Make sure each drawing’s “Drawing Properties” dialog has an “Installation Code:” defined. There is an edit box for this, shown below. You could use some other box if you would like for this. Here we just chose the “Installation” code which assumes that this assignment will be “common” for all drawings for a given “CELL” which are grouped together into one of the smaller, independent sub-projects.
4. Once you enter in the Installation value for each drawing, you should see this show up next to the drawing file name listed in the Project Manager window.
