In EPLAN 8, I am interested in adding a device connection symbol for point-to-point connections that can automatically connect with other devices. I have attached two default device connection symbols - the first one allows for autoconnection, while the second does not. However, I would prefer a shorter or simply a point without a circle symbol for autoconnection. Is there a way to customize device connection symbols in EPLAN 8?

Absolutely, customization of device connection symbols in EPLAN 8 is possible. You'll need to navigate to 'Options' > 'Settings' > 'Projects' > '[Name of the Project]' > 'General'. Here, under 'Connection Definitions', you'll find an option to modify your device connection symbols. To make them shorter or change to point without a circle, you may need to design a custom symbol, which can be done using auxiliary functions 'SYMBOL/NEW' and 'SYMBOL/EDIT'. Remember to set the connection points correctly so they can autoconnect. It might take a bit to get used to, but with practice, it becomes a breeze.
Absolutely, EPLAN 8 does offer schematics customizations including device connection symbols. You need to navigate to 'Options' > 'Settings' > 'Projects' > '[Project name]' > 'General' > 'Symbol library' > 'Graphical definition'. Here, you can change or create a new connection symbol that suits your preference. Remember, after making changes, reboot your software for the settings to take effect. Consider EPLAN's documentation or online tutorials for a more detailed step-by-step guide.
Yes, you can actually customize device connection symbols in EPLAN 8. To do so, you'd navigate to the 'Options' in the 'Symbol' toolbar. When in 'Edit symbol' mode, just select the 'Properties' dialog box where you can adjust geometric properties to suit your needs – including shortening the symbol or even removing the circle. If you constantly need a specific symbol, save it for easy access in the future. It definitely takes a little time to play around and get used to, but it's quite flexible once you get the hang of it!
