About Tagging and Linking Tools

Understand the tagging and linking tools in AutoCAD® Electrical used to convert non blocked geometry and text to a fully functional AutoCAD Electrical-aware block insert.

AutoCAD Electrical has tagging and linking tools that enable non blocked geometry to be made aware of AutoCAD Electrical. The existing geometry stays in place and is unblocked. Key text entities are converted to attributes with user picks and are linked into a generic, non graphical block insert. Wire connection attributes can also be merged into this generic block insert. The process to convert it from dumb text, circle, and line entities takes only moments to complete and the result appears as a fully functional AutoCAD Electrical-aware block insert.
