Circuiting is too time consuming

[jschultz]

There is too much clicking, moving mouse, clicking, moving mouse going on.
We need a command line prompt for circuiting.

My old blocks had a cct attribute and a panelboard tag.
I could type CCT and select as many blocks as I wanted and then type the circuit number I wanted them to be.
I could type PNL and select as many blocks as I wanted and then type the panelboard name I wanted them to be.
It was very fast. I could use both hands for input.
My excel VBA would then grab that data and fill out my excel pnlbd schedule.

Granted with MEP there would need some checking for if that circuit number exists on that panelboard. But it could default to the pnlbd the device is currently connected to (or the majority are connected to), then you could change that if needed. Then you type the cct number and could have a ? for listing available ccts on that pnlbd. If the cct does not exist, it could ask if you want to create it, or simply say, cct is not available.

Are you asking a question? Or is this a wishlist item?

I completely agree with OP. It is actually much faster to circuit using tags. Better and faster tools needed for circuiting.
One idea I have (but there are other GUI designs that will work also) is:
- select a circuit in CM
- shift click a device and it is automatically assigned to the circuit.
- repeat...

Complaining what a time waster circuiting is.
I had a 24 story hotel with a bunch of floors that were similar. I copy one floors circuits to the next floor, only the panelboard has to change. It took forever.
