The tag consists of a minimum of two pieces of in-
Tag Format
formation: a family code and an alphanumeric refer-
ence number (for example, "CR" and "100" to yield
a tag like CR100 or 100CR). Optionally, a component
tag might contain a sheet number or some user-
specified separators. If your format includes the sheet
number %S parameter or the drawing number %D
parameter, enter the values in the edit boxes in the
Drawing Properties Drawing Settings dialog box.
NOTE AutoCAD Electrical provides a predefined
format for you to use or you can enter your own
format using replaceable parameters on page 236.
NOTE The %N parameter is mandatory in any
component tag format you define.
