Command entry:
AECABLEMARKER
Select 2+ Child Marker from the list.
The Insert/Edit Cable Marker (2nd+ wire of cable) dialog box is for working in Combined Installation/Location tag mode. If you are not working in Combined Installation/Location tag mode, the dialog box displays differently.
Installation
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" so you can create location-specific BOM and component lists later.
Location
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 extract cable from/to reports and location-specific BOM reports later (for example, BOM for all field cables, BOM for all PNL cables).
Component Tag
The parent cable tag value can be manually typed into the edit box or selected from a drawing-wide or project-wide list of existing cables. If the parent is visible on screen, click Parent/Sibling and select the parent or another related marker. It automatically transfers all information to the child marker being inserted or edited.
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.
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.
