I am in the process of remodeling my home and building an addition.  I first created accurate as-built plans of my existing home and then I used those plans as a starting point for designing my addition.

I have already placed all the existing electrical devices (i.e. receptacles, light fixtures, light switches, etc.) in the original part of the house and I am currently in the process of laying out the new electrical for the addition.

I spent a lot of time tracing circuits in the existing house, so I know exactly which switch, outlet, lights, etc. is on which circuit breaker.  I'm not 100% done with this process, but I have probably 90% of all the devices identified.

What I'd like to do is import the CAD plans of my house (including the addition) into Visio and then somehow identify which device is on which circuit breaker.  Ideally I would like to be able to either select a device to see which breaker it is on as well as select a breaker to see every device that is on that breaker.

Is this possible?  If so, can you get me pointed in the right direction?

Thanks

It would take some code.

In the User contributed section of this forum, I did a post re shortest path.  http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=6373.0  That would do everything connected to the fuse using the outgoing analysis.  Needs minor tweak so you don't have to select two shapes.  There might be another, earlier post already, just don't recall.

Selecting a device and finding which fuse depends on how you want to show the info.  Simple popup form?

Possibly the shortest path post...only select your device 1st, use incoming analysis.  Again, needs a little tweaking.
