Tag |
The parent cable tag value can be manually typed in the edit box or selected from a drawing-wide or project-wide list of existing cables. |
|
Drawing |
Lists the component tags used for similar cable markers in the current drawing. |
|
Project |
Lists the component tags used for similar cable markers in the project. |
|
Parent/Sibling |
Transfers all information from the parent cable marker to the child cable marker being inserted or edited. If the parent is visible on the screen, click Parent/Sibling and select the parent (or another related contact). |
Wire Color/ID
Set the conductor color code by manually entering it in the edit box or selecting from the project, drawing, or generic pick list. If the parent marker carries a part number, you can select the next unused color from a used/unused pick list.

Description
Up to three lines of description attribute text can be entered. These lines are automatically filled with a copy of the description text of the parent if the parent TAG name is picked using one of the methods previously described.
Click Pick to copy a description from a cable marker on the current drawing.
Parent cable marker cross-reference
AutoCAD Electrical toolset automatically fills in cross-reference text when the cross-reference command is run.
Installation Code
Changes the installation codes. You can search the current drawing or entire project for installation codes. A quick read of all the current or selected drawing files is done and a list of installation codes used so far is returned. Select from the list to update the component automatically with the installation code.
Assign short installation codes to components like "PNL" and "FIELD." You can take full advantage of the AutoCAD Electrical toolset ability to create location-specific BOM and component lists later.
Location Code
Changes the location codes. You can search the current drawing or entire project for location codes. A quick read of all the current or selected drawing files is done and a list of location codes used so far is returned. Select from the list to update the component automatically with the location code.
Assign short location codes to components like "PNL" and "FIELD." You can take full advantage of the AutoCAD Electrical toolset ability to extract wire and cable from/to reports, and location-specific BOM reports later. (For example, BOM for all field cables, BOM for all PNL cables.)
