DescriptionAttribute
any related pin list data is automatically stored on the symbol as
Xdata.
(Parent only) Like previous attribute, but is used to hold a second pin
list temporarily that is later retrieved during insertion of a peer parent
PEER_PINLIST
device. For example, a reversing motor starter contactor might be a
single component with a single part number, but has a parent coil
and a peer reversing coil. Each is to receive its own unique pin list.
The catalog lookup assignment pulls both sets of pin lists to the par-
ent. Then, inserting the peer reversing coil and referencing the parent,
the pin list of the peer is retrieved from this temporary storage attrib-
ute (or Xdata) on the parent and pulled over to the peer.
(Parent only) Optional attribute carried on a parent symbol used for
setting up a peer-to-peer relationship. It stores the cross-reference
WDTAGALT
tag name of a related symbol shown on a different drawing type (for
example, instrument drawing or pneumatic drawing vs. electrical
schematic. For example, an instrument drawing might be included
in an AutoCAD Electrical project drawing set with a valve marked
"FY201". On the electrical schematics, the solenoid for this instrument
valve is tagged "SV456". The WDTAGALT attribute carried on the
schematic valve symbol can be annotated with the "FY201" instrument
tag name and a WDTAGALT attribute on the symbol of the instrument
diagram carries the "SV456" tag name pointing back at the schematic
representation. With it in place, AutoCAD Electrical can cross-reference
between them, do auto-update, and enable surfing from one drawing
type to the other.
NOTE For cross-referencing to include these peer references, make
sure that the Peer-to-peer toggle is turned on (under Project Properties
➤ Cross-reference tab).
Optional attribute used to define the component category.WDTYPE
