Insert multiple cable markers
1 Click Schematic tab ➤ Insert Wires/Wire Numbers panel ➤ Cable
Markers drop-down ➤ Multiple Cable Markers.
2 Select to run a report for the project or drawing and click OK.
AutoCAD Electrical processes the drawing or project before the Location
Code Selection for From/To Reporting dialog box displays.
3 Pick the location codes from the left and right-hand lists.
NOTE Components that have no assigned location code are grouped under
a generic "(??)" code.
4 Make any necessary changes in the From/To combination box and click
OK when you are ready to run the report.
The Cable Insert/Edit dialog box displays.
5 Define which wires are part of the cable by using the Include, Include
All, Remove, and Remove All buttons.
The wires for the cable are listed in the Wires Included in Cable portion
of the dialog box.
6 Set the cable tag by keeping the default, using the buttons, or typing in
a new tag. Select Fixed to mark this for this so that it is not updated on
a future retag.
7 Set the wire color by selecting it from a list or typing the color in the edit
box.
Subsequent insertions of child cable markers, tied back to the parent
through any of the normal methods causes AutoCAD Electrical to offer
the next conductor color of the cable as a default.
8 Assign the catalog information, description, location and installation
codes, and references for the tag.
9 Click Insert/Update Now to insert the cable or click Insert/Update Later
to save the changes for later.
If you chose Now, any affected drawings are opened and the cable markers
are inserted or updated. If you chose to insert/update later, your changes
are saved in a file called 'projnam_cblmrkin.upd' in the same directory
path as your project file. When you are ready to insert the cables, select
