Wire Number Format
Wire number tags can be sequential or reference-based.
Specifies the way new wire number tags are created. The
wire number tag format must include the %N parameter
Format
that is the base sequential or reference-based value per the
selection above. If your format includes the sheet number
%S parameter or the drawing number %D parameter, you
must enter the values in the edit boxes in the Drawing
Properties ➤ Drawing Settings dialog box.
NOTE For reference-based wire number tagging, individual
items in the suffix list are applied to the wire tags to keep
multiple wires in the same reference location unique. These
are added to the end of the tag, but you can force AutoCAD
Electrical to insert the suffix character somewhere within
the tag format. Use the Suffix position parameter, %X, in
the component tag format (for example, %X%N).
NOTE AutoCAD Electrical provides a predefined format
for you to use or you can enter your own format using
replaceable parameters. (page 126)
Specifies to use PLC I/O address values for wires that con-
nect to an addressed I/O point. This overrides both Sequen-
Search for PLC I/O address on insert
tial and Reference-based tagging. New wires or wire renum-
bering on the current drawing will show PLC I/O address-
based wire numbers automatically.
