    I only see one switch after placing a double light switch

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Area: Electrical Annotation and Design
      Subarea: Symbols

    Problem

    When I insert a double light switch it only displays a single switch in plan view. How do I get it to show two switches instead? If I copy it, then of course it shows two completely separate switches.


    Solution

    The specific symbol being placed can make a difference, but in the case of the delivered Double Pole Switch make sure you select the "2 GANG" sub-type in order to display a single plate with the two switches.
