If you were wiring 8 gangs of 2 way light switches. Would you wire 8 independent circuits, so 8 no. 3 core between switches. Or would you run a live, and loop all the L1's together, then just run 8 no. 2 core between switches ?
 
Is that Mach3 / 4 by Artsoft?
What CAD software do you use?
Mach 3. I use Vectric Cut 2D Desktop for making up signs and plates as it will engrave simple text to traffolyte and cut out fixing holes and panel button holes and the plate itself. And Stickfont V2.6 for engraving text on switches and things as it is substantially more flexible for text. Was making these ready for this week splitting offices to 3 separate suppliers meters.

Makes my Dymo look very inadequate
 
 
It even make my Brother PT550 look a bit sad, but I am happy with it, better than a Sharpie by a long way, reminds me must make a sticker to go over the Wylex Logo. 🤣[ElectriciansForums.net] 8 gangs of 2 way light switches - wiring

Something that's intriguing me

Kitchen socket sink side 32 amp

Kitchen socket hob side 32 amp

3 ring finals ?

4mm radials ?

pt550 doesn't like printing "sockets"




If you had one of those in the 90s you would be the bees knees :)
