To Create a Split Component Tag

  1. Open up the .dwg library symbol drawing that you want to modify.
  2. Rename the TAG1 attribute definition to read TAG1_PART1.
  3. Add a new attribute definition TAG1_PART2.
  4. Position both attribute definitions inside of the circle graphics of the symbol (one above the other).

    With this setup, AutoCAD Electrical toolset automatically splits tags like CR104 and 104CR into two pieces (where characters split from numbers to letters) and apply the pieces to these attributes.

  5. For instances where there is a delimiter between the character and number parts of a tag, and you do not want the delimiter to show on one part or the other of the visible tag, add attribute definition TAG1_PARTX to the library symbol and mark it "invisible".

    AutoCAD Electrical toolset stores the delimiter of the split tag in the attribute.
