Parent/Stand-alone components
Parent/Stand-alone components
|Attribute |Description |
|TAG1 |AutoCAD Electrical puts the component's tag name on this attribute, names like "PB101" or "CR-55" (24|
| |characters maximum). The default value you assign to this attribute definition at the library symbol |
| |level (i.e. symbol's ".dwg" file opened and displayed in AutoCAD) becomes the family code character |
| |string AutoCAD Electrical uses to build the component's tag name when the block is inserted into your|
| |wiring diagram. This default value character string is used as the Family Code (%F) portion of the |
| |drawing's tag format code you set up in the Configuration dialog (example %F%N). |
| |For example, push-button symbol HPB11.dwg is shown here. Use "PB" for a default value of the |
| |attribute definition TAG1 if the family name you want AutoCAD Electrical to use is "PB" (examples: |
| |"PB100", "100-PB", "PB4-100"). Note that this family name can be overridden at component insertion |
| |time, a later edit, or automatically by use of the "wd_fam.dat " mapping file described elsewhere in |
| |this manual. |
| |Note: If the TAG1 attribute carries no default value then AutoCAD Electrical will use that symbol's |
| |FAMILY attribute value. |
|MFG |Invisible attribute for optional manufacturer name or code (24 characters maximum). |
| | |
| |MFG01 - MFG09: Optional invisible attributes for manufacturer name or code for up to nine additional |
| |"Multi-BOM" part number assignments (24 characters maximum each). If these attributes are not present|
| |and AutoCAD Electrical needs to store the additional part number information, it will be saved on the|
| |inserted symbol as Xdata. |
|CAT |Invisible attribute for optional catalog number (60 character maximum). |
| | |
| |CAT01 - CAT09: Optional invisible attributes for catalog number code for up to nine additional |
| |"Multi-BOM" part number assignments (24 characters maximum each). If these attributes are not present|
| |and AutoCAD Electrical needs to store the additional part number information, it will be saved on the|
| |inserted symbol as Xdata. |
|ASSYCODE |Invisible attribute for optional subassembly code that causes AutoCAD Electrical to extract |
| |subassembly items into BOM reports. The value for this attribute is generally set by AutoCAD |
| |Electrical and not by the user. Its limit is also 24 characters. |
| | |
| |ASSYCODE01 - ASSYCODE09: Optional invisible attributes for subassembly code for up to nine additional|
| |"Multi-BOM" part number assignments (24 characters maximum each). If these attributes are not present|
| |and AutoCAD Electrical needs to store the additional part number information, it will be saved on the|
| |inserted symbol as Xdata. |
|PINLIST |Optional invisible attribute carried on a parent symbol for storing the allowed contact pin list for |
| |the parent's child contacts. If this attribute is not present then any related pin list data will be |
| |automatically stored on the symbol as Xdata. |
|WDTAGALT |(Optional) Attribute carried on a parent symbol used for setting up a "peer-to-peer" relationship. It|
| |stores the cross-reference tag name of a related symbol shown on a different drawing type (ex: |
| |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 instrument diagram's symbol carries the "SV456" tag name pointing |
| |back at the schematic representation. With this in place, AutoCAD Electrical can cross-reference |
| |between them, do auto-update, and enable "surfing" from one drawing type to the other. |
|WD_WEBLINK |Attribute carried on a parent symbol for embedding Internet URL's, ".pdf", ".xls", or ".doc" links |
| |that can be "Surfed" on. The attribute value should be the URL, .pdf, .xls, or .doc document file |
| |name that should be displayed when selected from the component's Surf dialog. Multiple weblink |
| |attributes can be assigned to a symbol. Use attribute names with the WD_WEBLINK prefix, for example, |
| |WD_WEBLINK1 and WD_WEBLINK2. |
Child Components
|Attribute |Description |
|TAG2 |AutoCAD Electrical puts a copy of the parent component's tag name on this attribute. During the AutoCAD |
| |Electrical tagging operation, AutoCAD Electrical takes the parent coil's tag name (carried on its TAG1 |
| |attribute) and copies it to this contact's TAG2 attribute. If no parent tag is found then AutoCAD |
| |Electrical displays the attribute definition's default value. A child component is related to its parent |
| |by carrying the same value on its TAG2 attribute as the parent’s TAG1. |
[pic]Common to Parent/stand-alone or child components
|Attribute |Description |
|FAMILY |Invisible attribute that carries the components "family" type (ex: "CR", "TD", "M", "PB"). Generally, |
| |the FAMILY attribute definition's default value is the same as the default value for the component's |
| |TAG1 or TAG2 attribute. |
| | |
| |A generic child device can be linked to any type of parent symbol if the child's Family attribute value|
| |is left blank. AutoCAD Electrical will fill it in "on-the-fly" with the parent's FAMILY code when the |
| |link is made. |
|DESC1, DESC2, DESC3|DESC1: Description, first or only line of description text (60 characters maximum). |
| | |
| |DESC2: 2nd line of description text. |
| | |
| |DESC3: 3rd line of description text. |
|INST |Optional component installation code (ex: "MACH1", 24 characters maximum). |
|LOC |Optional component "location" code (ex: "FIELD", "JBOX2" 16 characters maximum). |
|XREFNO, XREFNC |Attributes to list normally open and normally closed references separately. |
|XREF |This attribute can be used in two different ways. It can be used for a combined list of normally open |
| |and normally closed contacts. AutoCAD Electrical underlines the closed contacts. If XREFNO and XREFNC |
| |are present it will be used this way. If XREFNO and XREFNC are not present, then XREF is used for |
| |non-NO/NC contacts. |
| | |
| |Note: If XREF is not present then non-NO/NC contacts are put in with the XREFNO annotation. |
|CONTACT |Invisible attribute present when the symbol is a contact. The value of this attribute is the contact's |
| |de-energized state (ex: "NO" or "NC" or any text string with an embedded "NO" or "NC" such as "NO-TC". |
| |Use "NULL" as the CONTACT attribute's value if you want to exclude the contact from being included in |
| |any AutoCAD Electrical cross-reference text annotation.) |
|POSn |Attribute to mark switch position text where "n" is the position number digit. You can leave the |
| |default value blank and then fill it in at component insertion time. |
|STATE |Optional contact state character string to denote relationship between switch positions and open/closed|
| |contact state. You can leave the default value blank and then fill it in at component insertion time. |
|RATINGn |Optional rating / value attribute text where "n" is a digit starting with "1". AutoCAD Electrical |
| |supports up to twelve RATINGn attributes (i.e. RATING1 through RATING12) on the component symbol, up to|
| |60 characters each. |
|X?LINK |Optional invisible attribute that allows AutoCAD Electrical to automatically tie in dashed "link" lines|
| |between related components (in lieu of cross-reference annotation). The "?" is a digit that indicates |
| |the preferred link line connection direction and follows the wire connection convention described |
| |above. A child circuit breaker pole is shown here with X2LINK and X8LINK attributes marking where |
| |AutoCAD Electrical can attach dashed link lines from above and from below respectively. |
|WDTYPE |Optional attribute used on non-electrical schematic symbols to identify them as non-electrical. Value |
| |of the attribute gives a generic type of symbol such as "PID" for instrument symbol or "PN" for |
| |pneumatic. This attribute value will show up in several pick list dialogs (such as INS/EDIT COMPONENT >|
| |"Tags used so Far" dialog pick list). |
[pic]Wire connection/terminal pin number pairs
|Attribute |Description |
|X?TERMn |Invisible wire connection attributes where an external wire connects to the attribute's origin |
| |point. The 'n' character is an incremented digit starting at "01" used to keep multiple wire |
| |connection point attribute names unique. The "?" character position is used to identify the |
| |preferred wire connection direction: |
| | |
| |1: wire connects to the attribute from the right |
| | |
| |2: wire connects to the attribute from above |
| | |
| |4: wire connects to the attribute from the left |
| | |
| |8: wire connects to the attribute from below |
| | |
| |0: special for motor connections |
| | |
| |If more than 99 terminals are present on a single symbol, the 'n' value can continue with double |
| |alpha letters/numbers such as "A0," "A1," "AZ," "B0" and so on. |
| | |
| |Note: X?TERMn attributes can be stand-alone, meaning there isn't an associated TERMn attribute. |
|X?TERMDESCn |Optional wire connection description attributes that match up with X?TERMn wire connection |
| |attributes. These value assigned to each termination description attribute can be extracted into |
| |various wire connection reports or merged onto panel wiring diagram representations of schematic |
| |symbols. |
| | |
| |These attributes can be used to define a terminal as an internal or external connection. |
|TERMn |Optional terminal pin number attribute where 'n' is a two-digit number (starting at '01') that is |
| |used to match up with the corresponding X?TERMn wire connection attribute. |
| | |
| |A single TERMn attribute can have 2,3, or 4 wire connection attributes associated with it. For |
| |example, a round, stand-alone terminal symbol having a single terminal in number attribute TERM01 |
| |can carry 4 wire connection attributes to allow connection from any direction. All 4 wire number |
| |attribute names would end with '01' to link them all to the common terminal pin number attribute. |
|WD_JUMPERS |Optional internal wire jumpers attribute that can be encoded to link sets of terminals together so |
| |AutoCAD Electrical will consider them internally jumpered when calculating wire number assignments |
| |and processing wire connection and from/to reports. For example, a WD_JUMPERS attribute value of |
| |((01 02)) will flag AutoCAD Electrical to treat wire connection X?TERM01 as electrically jumpered to|
| |XD?TERM02. WD_JUMPERS attribute value of ((01 04)) (02 05 06) means that wire connection X?TERM01 |
| |and X?TERM04 will be treated as internally jumpered together and X?TERM02, X?TERM05, and X?TERM06 |
| |are viewed as jumpered together. |
[pic]Terminal symbols
The following attributes can be used for terminal symbols or multi-connection sequence terminal symbols.

[pic]In-line wire labels or wire numbers
These symbols insert into a wire, break the wire, and reconnect at each end. They carry a text label or wire number in the gap between the connected wire ends. They symbols can dynamically adjust their gap to accommodate the width of the in-line text.
|Attribute |Description |
|COLOR or WIRENO |Visible attribute for the text label (COLOR) or in-line wire text (WIRENO). This |
| |attribute is center or middle justified and placed midway between the pair of |
| |wire connection attributes listed below. |
|X?TERMn |Pair of invisible wire connection attributes where the wires connect. Connection |
| |is made to each attribute's origin point. The "?" character position in each |
| |attribute name identifies the wire connection direction: |
| | |
| |1: wire connects to the attribute from the right |
| | |
| |2: wire connects to the attribute from above |
| | |
| |4: wire connects to the attribute from the left |
| | |
| |8: wire connects to the attribute from below |
|X?_TINY_DOT_DONT_REMOVE |Very small, visible attribute that must carry a non-blank text value (use a |
| |period "." character). It is placed at the origin of the X?TERM01 wire connection|
| |attribute and the "?" digit matches that on the X?TERM01 attribute. |
| | |
| |Example: In-line wire number symbol HT0_W1.dwg will have visible attribute |
| |WIRENO, invisible wire connection attribute X4TERM01, and visible attribute |
| |X4_TINY_DOT_DONT_REMOVE at the left-hand wire connection and invisible attribute |
| |X1TERM01 and visible attribute X1_TINY_DOT_DONT_REMOVE at the right-hand wire |
| |connection location. |
