NOTE You can define the default wire connection text format using the Panel
Configuration dialog box. Select Panel Layout Panel Configuration, and click

Access:
Click the Wire Annotation of Panel Footprint tool. Make your selections and
click OK.
From the Panel Layout menu, select Wire Annotation of Panel Footprint. Make
your selections and click OK.
NOTE You can build two sets of panel footprint symbols - one set that does not
carry the target attributes for wire information and a set that does. Then when
you insert your panel symbols from the schematic extract, select to Use Footprint
Tables to access the first set of symbols or select Use Wiring Diagram Tables to
access the second set.
Format
There are 2 format edit boxes on the dialog. The "Full" format is used if the
target attributes are not found and MText is inserted. The "Partial" format is
used if the target attributes are found (described later). Each format uses
parameters that are then replaced with the specific wire information. AutoCAD
Electrical provides some pre-defined formats for you to select from the list
box at the right; or you can enter your own format using replaceable parameters
(page 126).
Parameters must be separated by non-blank delimiters for AutoCAD Electrical
to be able to re-extract wiring diagram information into reports. For example,
"%T=%W %1 %G" is not acceptable because there is only a space between the
%W and %1 and %G parameters. Acceptable formats include "%T=%W (%1)
%G" or "%T=%W / %1 (%G)" or "%T=%W (%1) %G".
NOTE Commas cannot be used in the format. They signal multiple wire connection
annotations onto a single wire connection attribute.
