automatically filled with a copy of the description text of the parent if the
parent TAG name is picked using one of the methods previously described.

Parent cable marker cross-reference
AutoCAD Electrical automatically fills in cross-reference text when the
cross-reference command is run.
Installation Code
Changes the installation codes. You can search the current drawing or entire
project for installation codes. A quick read of all the current or selected drawing
files is done and a list of installation codes used so far is returned. Select from
the list to update the component automatically with the installation code.
Assign short installation codes to components like "PNL" and "FIELD." You
can take full advantage of the AutoCAD Electrical ability to create
location-specific BOM and component lists later.
Location Code
Changes the location codes. You can search the current drawing or entire
project for location codes. A quick read of all the current or selected drawing
files is done and a list of location codes used so far is returned. Select from
the list to update the component automatically with the location code.
Assign short location codes to components like "PNL" and "FIELD." You can
take full advantage of the AutoCAD Electrical ability to extract wire and cable
from/to reports, and location-specific BOM reports later. (For example, BOM
for all field cables, BOM for all PNL cables.)
