This dialog is accessed from either of the following locations when routing duct bank:
  • Click the Setup Conduit Layout only option from the Duct bank configuration section of the Duct Bank Routing Tool - When access in this mode, it defines the number of conduit slots to be included in the duct bank.
  • Click the Setup grid option from the Spacer Configuration section of the Spacer Configuration Tool - When accessed in this mode, it defined the spacer layout (which supports the conduit) for the duct bank to be routed.

Starting column designator This value (along with the Starting column designator) is used as a start point when identifying the duct bank cells.
Exclude column designators Columns are designated using alphabet characters. To exclude any of these any characters from being used as designators, enter them in this field.
