Updating Specific Circuit Paths

Command

Prerequisites

• A FireCAD project must be open
• An active circuit must be selected

Overview

The ATUPDATE_CIRCUIT_PATHS command recalculates wirepath labels for the currently active circuit only. This is a targeted version of ATUPDATE_ALL_CIRCUIT_PATHS that processes a single circuit.

Steps

1. Select the target circuit in the Circuits palette
2. Type ATUPDATE_CIRCUIT_PATHS in the AutoCAD command line
3. FireCAD validates and recalculates the path labels for the active circuit
4. The drawing updates with new labels

Tips

• Faster than updating all circuits when you only need to fix one
• Use ATUPDATE_ALL_CIRCUIT_PATHS when multiple circuits need updating
