DescriptionAttribute
NOTE If XREF is not present then non-NO/NC contacts are included
with the XREFNO annotation.
Invisible attribute that is present when the symbol is a contact. The
value of this attribute is the de-energized state of the contact (for
CONTACT
example, "NO" or "NC" or any text string with an embedded "NO"
or "NC" such as "NO-TC". Use "NULL" as the value of the contact at-
tribute to exclude the contact from being included in any AutoCAD
Electrical cross-reference text annotation.)
Optional attribute that defines which TERMxx attribute receives the
first PINLIST value. The attribute value is a two character string, for
COMMON
example “02”, that matches with one of the TERMxx attributes found
on the symbol. If this attribute does not exist on the symbol, the first
PINLIST value is assigned to TERM01 and the second to TERM02.
Attribute to mark switch position text where "n" is the position number
digit (POS1 through POS12; 24 characters maximum). You can leave
the default value blank and then fill it in at component insertion time.
POSn
Optional contact state character string to denote relationship between
switch positions and open/closed contact state. It is for display only.
STATE
You can leave the default value blank and then fill it in at component
insertion time.
Optional rating / value attribute text where "n" is a digit starting with
"1" (60 characters maximum). AutoCAD Electrical supports up to 12
RATINGn
RATINGn attributes (for example, RATING1 through RATING12) on
the component symbol. These assignments can be pulled into various
AutoCAD Electrical reports.
Optional invisible attribute that allows AutoCAD Electrical to tie in
dashed link lines automatically between related components (instead
X?LINK
of cross-reference annotation). The "?" is a digit that indicates the
preferred link line connection direction and follows the wire connec-
tion convention (see X?TERMn).
(Parent only) Optional invisible attribute carried on a parent symbol
for storing the allowed contact pin list for the child contacts of the
PINLIST
parent (no limit on characters). If this attribute is not present then
