I create and edit a lot of electrical schematic drawings for electrical distribution systems in Southern California. These drawings are eventually imported into another program for circuit analysis purposes. Problems occur when, for example, a line representing a wire does not correctly connect with a symbol representing a resistor. The analysis program views this as an open circuit and gives me an error.
When these are drawings are created, object snaps are supposed to be used to assure correct connectivity. Sometimes the drafters get lazy and "eyeball" it. It looks okay visually but functions incorrectly electrically. Some of these drawings contain up to a thousand or more line segments and symbols.
My question is... Is there a way to verify on a wiring diagram that this "connectivity" exists throughout the drawing? And if there is a break in the connectivity, where?
Oh yeah, I posted this in the LT forum, but I have access to 2000, 2002, and 2004 if necessary. Thanks...
