Use replaceable parameters
The Drawing Properties dialog box makes use of codes as replaceable parameters
that are encoded on to attributes of the invisible WD_M block of the drawing.
For example, if you set your component tag format to be %F%N, this format
is encoded on to the TAGFMT attribute of the WD_M block. When AutoCAD
Electrical assigns a TAG to a component, this format is read and the codes are
replaced with the appropriate values.
Replaceable parameters are also used for device tagging, cross-referencing,
wire numbering, wire annotation, and graphical terminal strips.
For device tagging, cross-referencing and wire numbering
