When the software calculates loads in power totals or in the Circuit Manager, it totals the loads into 3 groups according to device type: lighting, receptacles, and, for all other device types, other. A corresponding modify command is available for each device type. While pressing Ctrl, you can press A to quickly select all of the objects in the drawing, and then enter a modify command, such as LIGHTINGMODIFY, to filter the selection set to include only the devices of the specified type. NOTE Keep the classification for the Device Type classification definition the same as the value for Type unless you have added a custom classification that is more appropriate. For more information, see Specifying Classifications for Device Styles on page 369. 5 For Layer Key, select the layer key that corresponds to the layer on which devices of this style are placed when they are added to drawings. The list of available layer keys is determined by the layer standard and layer key style that is specified for the current drawing. For more information, see Specifying a Layer Standard and a Layer Key Style on page 134. 6 For Wire Cleanup, select a wire cleanup method. This selection determines how wires are displayed when connected to devices or panels. The preview image on the right provides an example of the current selection.
