Insert cable markers
1 Click the Cable Markers tool.
2 In the Insert Component dialog box, select the cable marker
to insert and pick the insertion point on the drawing.
The Insert/Edit Cable Marker dialog box displays.
3 Set the cable tag by keeping the default, using the buttons, or
typing in a new tag.
Make sure you select Fixed if you want this tag to be marked
so that it won't be updated on a future re-tag.
4 Define the wire color by selecting it from a list or typing the
color id in the edit box.
Subsequent insertions of child cable markers, tied back to the
parent through any of the normal methods (Parent/sibling or
drawing/project-wide pick list) will cause AutoCAD Electrical
to offer the cable's next conductor color as a default.
5 Assign the catalog information, description, location and in-
stallation codes, and references for the tag.
6 Click OK.
If a parent cable marker was inserted, the Insert Some Child
Components dialog box displays, allowing you to automatically
insert child cable markers that are tied to the parent.
7 If you want to insert child markers, make any changes to the
dialog box and click Ok insert Child. If you don't want any
child markers to be associated with the parent marker, click
Close.
NOTE You can use the Dashed Link Line command to insert linked lines between
the symbols.
