Define the table cross-referencing format including whether to use a graphical font or contact mapping, whether to display or hide the parent reference and unused contacts, and more.
This format displays cross-referencing in a table object that automatically gets updated in real time, so you can define the columns to display. To display component cross-referencing in a table, select a predefined table style and define the column labels to display.

Command entry:
AEPROJECT
In the Project Manager, right-click the project or drawing name, and select Properties. Click the Cross-references tab. In the component Cross-reference Display section, select Table Format, and click Setup.
If new contacts are added to the component, the cross-referencing table automatically updates. The table location is based on cross-reference attributes. You can move the table to any location on the drawing and the table remains in the new position.
If you change the table setup once a table has been inserted onto the drawing, run the Component Cross-reference tool to update the table.
Insert Components panel Icon Menu. Select the component type to insert and specify the insertion point on the drawing. In the Insert/Edit Component dialog box, Cross-reference section, select Component override, and click Setup. In the Cross-reference component override dialog box, select Table Format, and click Setup. Format

Graphic Font |
Displays the cross-reference format using a graphical font. Select to use the JIC-style font or the IEC-style font. The setting is applied to the graphical font regardless of the tagging mode assigned in the project properties. |

The JIC-style image font style displays the cross-referencing using the JIC style normally open, normally close, and Form C contact types. |
|
 |
The IEC-style image font style displays the cross-referencing using the IEC style normally open, normally close, and Form C contact types. |
|
|
Contact Mapping |
Displays the cross-reference format using cross-referencing type values (NO, NC, NONC). Enter the format into the edit boxes. |
|
|
Symbol Mapping |
Displays the cross-reference format using mapped graphic block drawings. Click Edit to modify the mapping settings. |
|
Preview
Displays an image that shows an example of the cross-referencing format being defined.
Options
|
Display Parent (Coil) |
Displays the reference information for the parent component inside the cross-reference format. |
|
Display Unused Children (Contacts) |
Displays the child symbols that are not referenced or being used in the project pin list. |
|
Separate Reference |
Displays each unused child symbol in its own reference. |
|
Contact Count Totals |
Displays the total count of all unused child symbols in a single reference. |
|
Fill Reference With |
Specifies what to display in the unused reference position for both Separate and Contact Count options. If left empty, a space appears where the referencing would be displayed. For example if you enter the text "SP" for spares, "SP" displays in the referencing. |
Table Style
Table styles are defined within a drawing file to determine the size, shape, style, and font of a table object. There is always a table style on a drawing. The standard table style cannot be deleted. Various style drawing files that determine the drawing-related settings are provided with AutoCAD Electrical toolset. The Table Styles drawing (TableStyle.dwg) defines a series of table objects that are used in the selection process and then copied to the drawing files.
Select a table style from the list. The list initially displays table styles from the active drawing and the TableStyle.dwg. Click Browse to select a drawing with the desired table style. Once selected, the table style can be applied to the Table Styles drawing. If the selected style does not exist on the TableStyle.dwg it is copied to it. When a drawing is referenced the style is then copied from the TableStyle.dwg.
Click Define Columns to open the Cross-reference Table Data Fields to Display dialog box to define the columns for the table cross-referencing.
Table Title
Controls the replaceable parameters and carriage returns. Select the allowable replaceable parameter entry from the selection list, enter the replaceable parameter to use, or enter text for the table title. Add a carriage return inside of the string by using "|" anywhere in the Table Title edit box.
