7 Enter the ANNO_CODE value from earlier in the ANNO_CODE field of
a blank row, ANNO_3M.
For this example, you define some attribute values for the motor symbol.
8 In AutoCAD Electrical, find the marker block that defines the insertion
point for the motor symbol. Find the CODE attribute value, for example
MTR03.
9 In the spreadsheet, add a new line in the ANNO_CODE table for each
attribute you wish to predefine. For example:
■ ANNO_CODE = ANNO_3M. It is the value from the ACE_CIRCS sheet
for this circuit.
■ CODE = MTR03. It is the value from the CODE attribute on the marker
block.
■ ATTRIBUTE = LOC. It is the attribute name you want to predefine.
■ PROMPT = Motor - Location code. This is the text used on the
Annotation Presets on page 708 dialog box. This dialog box is displayed
if you select the Presets - List button when the circuit is inserted.
■ Default = FIELD. It is the attribute value to apply to the LOC attribute
when the motor symbol is inserted.
10 Repeat for each attribute value you want to predefine. The ANNO_CODE
and CODE values should be the same for each attribute on this motor
symbol.
11 Save and close the spreadsheet.
You are now ready to test the changes.
12 Click Schematic tab ➤ Insert Components panel ➤ Circuit Builder
drop-down ➤ Circuit Builder.
13 Select the circuit CATEGORY and TYPE, CATEGORY: 3ph Motor Circuit
and TYPE: Horizontal - FVNR - non reversing.
14 Select the Presets button in the Special Annotation section.
15 Select the Lists button next to Presets.
The Annotation Presets dialog box displays. Any attributes with non-blank
values are selected by default and applied to the symbol when it is
