AutoCAD Electrical toolset provides a set of utilities to help you label, size, and report on conduits. A conduit can be represented by a line or a poly line and by itself does not carry any intelligence. However, you may insert a conduit marker symbol and associate it to a conduit. The conduit marker symbol then carries wire information intelligence pulled from the AutoCAD Electrical toolset drawings.
There are three ways to insert a conduit marker depending on where you want to pick the wire information from.
The first time (per AutoCAD session) that you insert a conduit marker, instruct AutoCAD Electrical toolset to read the wire information. You can read the wire information from multiple drawings within the project, the current drawing, or read the existing WFRM2ALL table in the scratch database.
The conduit marker is a block inserted to add intelligence to a line or pline representing a conduit on a layout drawing. There are four blocks, called WWAYT, WWAYB, WWAYL, and WWAYR. The blocks are identical except for the insert point, T=top, B=bottom, L=left, R=right. The program picks which block based on the leader drawn.
