■ _WIRESKIP=<value> - number of wires to skip over when trying to connect to
another wire.
■ _MAXTRAPCOUNT=<value> - maximum search distance to look for a wire
connection, given in wire connection trap units. The wire connection trap value
is fixed and is displayed on the
Drawing properties: drawing format tab on page
231 for the active drawing.
■ _BASE - indicates a base wire, the one that does not move, when setting up to
adjust multiple bus wire spacing. If not defined, the wire that is co-linear with
the insertion point of the template becomes the default base wire.
■ _L =<value>- each sublist, delimited by "|" characters, can predefine attribute
values for individual poles of a multi-pole component, set of terminals, or set of
cable markers.
■ _D=<value> - define the build direction override for a multi-pole component.
1=build right, 2=build up, 4=build left, 8=build down. Without an override, the
build direction is down for horizontal inserts, and from left to right for vertical
inserts.
■ X=<value or AutoLISP expression> - reposition the marker block in the "X" direc-
tion. For example, "_X=(* 0.5 DIST01)" means adjust the position of this marker
block in the X direction by an amount equal to 0.5 times the bus spacing distance
defined by marker block with a CODE attribute value of "DIST01". This example
can be used to position a marker block for a single phase motor insertion point,
halfway between two power bus wires.
■ _Y=<value or AutoLISP expression> - reposition the marker block in the "Y" direc-
tion.
NOTE The flags defined in the circuit drawing marker blocks override any
spreadsheet settings.
Marker block functions
All marker blocks have the same block name, ace_cb_marker_block, but can
have a wide variety of functions. The specific function assigned to a marker
is based on its CODE attribute value and what this code value maps back to
in the circuit code sheet for the circuit template. Here are the categories of
marker block functions:
Blocks that define the circuit properties, such as motor selection.Setup
Blocks that define the wire type layers layer to assign to the wire network under the
block.
