A toggle switch is one instrument in several colors and lever positions, and a circuit breaker is one instrument in every rating. Each shows once in the instrument search, and you choose the color, position or rating on its card.
Add a toggle switch
- Type "toggle" in the Search instruments by keyword box. The results show one Toggle Switch and one Mini Toggle Switch.
- Click the one you want. On its card, choose the Color: plain, white, red, blue, green, yellow or black. For the full-size switch, also choose the Position of the lever: Down, Up, Left or Right. Point at a color to see its name.
- Press Add and click on the panel where it goes. Or double-click the tile in the results to add it at once.
Add a circuit breaker
- Type "breaker" in the search box. The Klixon 7277 and the Tyco W31 each show once.
- Click the one you want. On its card, choose the Rating in amperes: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 or 35.
- Press Add and click on the panel where it goes.
Change one already on the panel
- Double-click the switch or breaker. Or select it and press the button under its details on the right: Change color or position for a toggle switch, Change color for a mini toggle switch, Change rating for a breaker.
- A small box opens beside it with the same choices. Choose another color, position or rating.
- Several at once. Select several switches, or several breakers of the same kind, then open the box from one of them. The box says All and the number selected change together.
- A switch keeps its mounting hole where it was on the panel, whichever way its lever points. A breaker keeps its place and its size.
- A locked one does not change. The box says so; unlock it first. See Lock and unlock instruments.
- Undo takes back the change in one step.
- Esc, or a click anywhere else, closes the box. Drag the box by its top edge if it is in your way.
The knob is one instrument in five sizes: 0.50, 0.625, 0.70, 0.75 and 1.00 inch. It shows once in the search. Select a placed knob and press Change size, under its details, to choose another; it stays centered where it was.
On the equipment list, each color, position, rating and knob size is a line of its own. To label a switch or a breaker, see Placards. For a display's size and screen, see Choose a display's size, model and screen.
