Access:
Click the Edit Component tool and select the component to edit.
Click Components ➤ Edit Component and select the component to edit.
You can go back to any component at any time and make changes.
NOTE Some options may not be available depending on whether you are inserting
a single component or multiple components. To insert multiple components, click
Components ➤ Multiple Insert ➤ Multiple Insert (Icon Menu).
Component Tag
Any existing tags appear in the edit box. To define the component tag, edit
the existing tag or type a specific tag in the edit box. Select Fixed if you don't
want this tag to be updated on a retag.
If you enter an existing component tag during the insert/edit process, a
warning dialog box displays. (Turn off the warning in the Project Properties
➤ Project Settings dialog box. This temporarily disables the warning dialog
box for the current session of AutoCAD Electrical). It alerts you of the
duplication and suggests alternative tag names based on the user-defined
format. You can select whether to use the duplicated tag or use a new tag that
is suggested (or you can type in a new tag).
NOTE An error log file is created for every project regardless of whether you chose
to display the real-time warning dialog or not. The real-time warning is saved in
the log file named "<project_name>_error.log" and is saved in the User
subdirectory.
Searches for a wire connection to a nearby PLC I/O address and,
if found, uses the PLC address number in the component's tag
name.

Lists any component (panel or schematic) tag names in the same
