By default the raceway is rendered on the drawing file without a cover. This is article describes how to make raceways appear with a cover.

Note:
1. Raceway covers will only display as solid, flat, non-flanged covers.

2.Go to Manage tab and Click on Raceway Catalog Creation.



3.In General Settings tab of Raceway Catalog Creation tool, select the Raceway system and Raceway catalog for which the cover is to be displayed.

5.By default the value of Cap Style is set to ‘0’.



6.For displaying the raceway cover the Cap Style value should be set to ‘1’. Set the value of Cap Style as ‘1’. This will enable the display of raceway cover.



7.Click OK. The raceway catalog will get modified accordingly.
