Worth knowing
Set the scale first. If the toolbar says Not set in amber, your footage will be wrong. To calibrate, click the two ends of a dimension you already know, then type its real length.
Click the end dot of a finished run to pick it back up and keep going.
Click a middle dot of a run to branch a new run off it, handy for drops and taps.
Hold Shift while drawing to lock the line straight or to 45 degrees. Most conduit runs are square, so this keeps them honest.
Nothing is permanent. Undo steps back a point, and deleting a run offers an Undo for a few seconds.
Multi-sheet sets: on a phone the bottom bar shows which sheet you are on, like 3/9. Tap it to jump straight to any sheet, step through them, and see which sheets already have runs on them.
Extra footage adds length that is not drawn on the plan, like stub-ups, drops and terminations. Set it per run, or for the whole job under the total.
