Converts a text entity to a schematic tag block. Use the appropriate command for the schematic block type.
Use these tools to convert text entities into an attributed block. Through the insertion of a template block, you have control over which attributes are inserted and visible. All necessary attribute definitions are automatically placed. During the tagging process, the text entity is removed and replaced with a template block file that contains multiple attributes used in AutoCAD Electrical toolset.
Click Conversion Tools tab 
Schematic panel. Select one of the schematic tagging commands from the list.
Click any of the tagging tools. Select the text entity to replace with the component TAG1 template block file, and right-click to apply the tag.

Tag PLC |
Makes selected text entities an attributed PLC address associated to a PLC tag. The template block file (PLCIO_ADDR_CONVERT.DWG, PLCIO_CONVERT.DWG, PLCIO_V_ADDR_CONVERT.DWG, or PLCIO_V_CONVERT.DWG depending on the drawing properties) contains attributes found useful for PLC addressing. After the addressing is defined on the block, select a PLC Tag or place one into the symbol definition for use with AutoCAD Electrical toolset. |

Find
|
Tag Schematic Terminal - Wire Number |
Makes the selected text entities an attributed block file with the TAGSTRIP and WIRENO attribute visible. The template block file (HT0W_CONVERT.DWG or VT0W_CONVERT.DWG depending on the drawing properties) contains attributes used for a terminal block component containing a wire number as the terminal number. |

|
Tag Schematic Terminal - Wire Number Change |
Makes the selected text entities an attributed block file with the TAGSTRIP and TERM01 attribute visible. The template block file (HT1T_CONVERT.DWG or VT1T_CONVERT.DWG depending on the drawing properties) contains attributes used for a terminal block component that changes the wire number. It creates a terminal number block that has a different wire number for each wire connected to it. |
