Set project properties
1 In the Project Properties dialog box, click the Components tab.
2 In the Component Tag Format section, verify that Line Reference is
selected.
This selection creates unique reference-based tags when multiple
components of the same family are located at the same reference location.
When reference-based tagging is used, a suffix variable is required to keep
components of the same family type unique. For example, three push
buttons on line reference 101 could be labeled PB101, PB101A, and
PB101B. Click Suffix Setup to change the suffix variable.
3 Click the Wire Numbers tab.
4 In the Wire Number Format section, verify that Line Reference is selected.
This selection creates unique reference-based wire number tags for
multiple wire networks beginning at the same reference location. When
reference-based numbering is used, a suffix variable is required to keep
wires on the same reference line or in the same reference zone unique.
Click Suffix Setup to change the suffix variable.
5 Review the various options on the different tabs of the Project Properties
dialog box.
NOTE In the Project Properties dialog box, icons indicate whether the settings
apply to project settings or drawing defaults. Settings that apply to project
settings have the project icon next to them and are saved inside the project
definition file (*.wdp). Settings that are saved in the project file as drawing
defaults have the drawing icon next to them. Drawing related data to add
to the project when running the Add Drawing command is saved as Drawing
Custom Properties.
