For each drawing
Enter the name or browse to a command script file to use for each drawing
in the current project or to purge all blocks.
Wire Types
Imports wire types defined on another drawing or drawing template. Enter
the drawing or template name or browse to it using the browse button. The
program reads the specified drawing and extracts all wire type information.
Click Setup to display the
Import Wire Types on page 903 dialog box where
you:
■ Select the wire types to import.
■ Define whether to overwrite any Wire Numbering and USERn differences
for existing wire types.
■ Define whether to overwrite color and linetype differences for existing
wire layers.
Nameplates
Insert nameplates
A nameplate is inserted on to the drawing as a block. It can either be referenced
to an existing component footprint block or inserted as a stand-alone
nameplate.
When tied to a component footprint, the component footprint is the parent
and the nameplate is a child of that parent. AutoCAD Electrical establishes
the link automatically by using invisible Xdata pointers on each block. It is
different from the schematic parent/child link where a common "TAG1/TAG2"
tag ID defines the relationship. AutoCAD Electrical automatically annotates
the nameplate with the description data lines and tag value of the parent (if
the nameplate block carries these target attribute names).
