After you add wire numbers to your schematics and extract this information,
you are ready to annotate your panel footprint symbols with this information.
The information is added to the drawing in two different ways:
■ Build your panel footprint symbols with some target attributes that are
used for the wire connection information.
■ Mtext is automatically added next to a symbol if the target attributes are
not found.
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. When you
insert your panel symbols from the schematic extract, select Use Footprint tables
to access the first set of symbols or Use Wiring diag tables to access the second
set.
Format
There are two format edit boxes on the dialog box. The "Full" format is used
if AutoCAD Electrical does not find the target attributes and inserts MTEXT.
The "Partial" format is used if AutoCAD Electrical finds the target attributes
(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 on page 236.
Parameters must be separated by nonblank 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
