Symbol Name: The next two characters of the symbol name in-
dicate the family type and can match the symbol to a catalog
lookup table.
Catalog name
NOTE Schematic terminals use “T1” for a terminal that triggers
a wire number change. They use “T0” for a terminal that does
not trigger a wire number change.
WDBLKNAM: On a schematic symbol, the WDBLKNAM value
overrides the catalog lookup table defined by the second and
third characters of the symbol name. The WDBLKNAM value is
always used on panel footprint symbols to match the symbol to
a catalog lookup table.
The fourth character of the symbol name can be a “1” for a parent
symbol, “2” for a child symbol, or user-defined for other symbol
types.
Type
If the symbol is a schematic child, the fifth character is “1” for
normally open or “2” for normally closed, otherwise it is user-
defined.
Contact
Additional characters added to the symbol name to make it
unique.
Unique identifier

on the orientation, catalog lookup, type, contact, and unique
identifier. Edit the symbol name as needed.
