Conduit Tag
AutoCAD Electrical toolset selects a default conduit tag which can be overridden at any time. Click Drawing to use a tag used for similar conduits in the active drawing or click Project to use a tag used for similar conduits in the project. See Conduit Marker Setup to define the default format for the conduit tags.
Size
The conduit size can be selected from the list of available sizes or entered in the box. To make it a little easier, AutoCAD Electrical toolset can calculate the percentage full for each conduit size available. To do this AutoCAD Electrical toolset needs 2 support files containing wire size information and conduit size information. If there is not a .WW1 file or if the wire sizes are not in the file, the calculations are not made.
Catalog Area
Assign catalog information to the conduit that will be extracted into a bill of materials report. You can do a drawing-wide or project-wide listing of similar conduits with their catalog assignments.
