Version 1.4.4 - 06.17.2024
- Added the "Draw Service Entrance" function to the primary toolbar.
- Enabled the ability to draw service entrance devices: CSED and Meter Socket.





For the callout and 2D symbol I'm not really sure what I should use, for now I'm showing the device part number and a simple rectangle.  Any thoughts or suggestions in this regard will be appreciated.

Per customer request I also think it would be pertinent to add some disconnect/switches to the misc. tool. Typically in residential applications you will see these mounted externally for AC equipment or hot tubs. The more common ones are not too expensive so I thought it would be instructional to actually put my hands on some of these devices to better understand them and also for more accurate modeling reasons.





This is the 60A Square D QO200TRCP. I'm actually surprised at how sturdy this little enclosure is.
