ANSI Ladder Diagrams

You can create User Defined Zones in a border and use that information to create ANSI-style (also known as ladder-logic) diagrams with dynamically named objects.

See “User Defined Zones” in the Capital Symbol Designer User Guideto create such borders.

Figure 16: User Defined Zones on Border Detail

This video shows how you can configure Default Naming and User Defined Zones to dynamically name design objects based on their location on ANSI ladder style diagrams.

Further Usage

In another usage scenario, you can configure user-defined zones and styling to render objects differently as they are placed. This video shows how you can use styling to automatically fill design objects with a color, based on the User Defined Zone in which they are located.
