&lt;p&gt;We are now at the stage in development where we are wanting to incorporate a Context Capture Model into our Substation file, edit this and add our newly created CAD symbols in substation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have a Context Capture &amp;#39;.3sm&amp;#39; file that we are hoping to use.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Can we use this file?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- Doo I attach this using the &amp;#39;attach reference manager&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;- How do I edit this Context Capture Model within Substation using substation tools&amp;nbsp;(ie delete non required equipment etc)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you in advance&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

And then aligning&amp;nbsp;the second&amp;nbsp;b-spline to the&amp;nbsp;centers of the spacers&amp;nbsp;requires more adjustment still.&amp;nbsp;But if any of the connection points at the ends of our cables change we have to go through this whole entire&amp;nbsp;process again to re-align our spacers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Or can you suggest another method for this process that&amp;nbsp;might work better than our current one?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2. How about the rod for the grounding grid? I&amp;#39;m not sure on how to insert the grounding rod. is it will be placed automatically?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I have a query regarding the API builder/Project Builder if anybody could help with this? I was wondering if anyone has used the API builder to build large scale projects? We have completed projects which we want to use as examples for future projects. &amp;nbsp;Is there a way of using API Builder or Project builder so that we can automatically create a complete new project based on these existing examples &amp;nbsp;with certain aspects of the project changed to suit whats needed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is it possible to automatically produce an API Builder spreadsheet from an existing project, so that the spreadsheet could then be changed to reproduce that project with the desired changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our eventual aim, if possible, is to have a database of working example projects that we can tweak slightly and promise can create that new project based on our changes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards&lt;/p&gt;
