Box color/linetype/layer
You can instruct AutoCAD Electrical to draw the rectangular box using
non-default line properties for color, layer, linetype, or ltscale. Encode this
information as a series of keywords as if you were using the CHPROP command
in AutoCAD to make the change. The keywords are encoded into the
"BOX_RIGHT", "BOX_LEFT", "BOX_TOP" and "BOX_BOTTOM" entries in the
specification table of a module. For example, the following makes the left and
right-hand sides of the enclosing box cyan using linetype 'Hidden2' and the
top and bottom blue using the default linetype:
BOX_RIGHT=0.5 COLOR CYAN LTYPE HIDDEN2
BOX_LEFT=0.5 COLOR CYAN LTYPE HIDDEN2
BOX_TOP=0.5 COLOR BLUE
BOX_BOTTOM=0.375 COLOR BLUE
