- [Instructor] You'll remember in the previous chapter we were looking at creating parametric PLCs from spreadsheets, using the PLC input output utility in AutoCAD Electrical.

Now just before we start we've got a new drawing open for this chapter, it's called PLC Drawing.dwg, you'll remember it from the last chapter, but what I've done is I've given you a nice new clean AutoCAD Electrical project called project which again you'll remember from the previous chapter. So, what we're going to do is just make sure that you've got that project folder downloaded from the library, and then we go new project, and we look up in the project folder or project.wdp file, and then we open up the project. Now I've already got it open, and I've already got PLC Drawing.dwg open. Now what I'd…
