The tag consists of a minimum of two pieces of information: a family code and an alphanumeric reference number (for example, “CR” and “100” to yield a tag like CR100 or 100CR). Tag Format: Specifies the way new component tags are created. You can insert the attributes individually as needed, or you can insert all the attributes from the template at one time.Īttribute templates follow the naming convention, AT_ in the _FAMILY_DESCRIPTION table of the catalog database, default_cat.mdb. For example rating or switching position attributes.
Optional attributes are attributes that may not be necessary on this symbol type but are supported. The required attributes are expected on the specific symbol type you are building. The attribute template can contain attributes defined as required and others as optional.
When you select your symbol type, the associated attribute template is used to create a list of attributes. The supplied attribute templates are in the symbol library folders and all attribute template drawing names begin with “AT_”. There are different attribute templates for different types of symbols and for different family codes. Attribute template drawings are AutoCAD drawings with AutoCAD Electrical toolset attributes. Symbol builder uses attribute templates to facilitate adding these attributes to your symbol. Must have a P_TAG1 and NP attribute or xdata.Īttribute Template: AutoCAD Electrical toolset expects certain attributes for each symbol type, schematic parent, schematic child, and so on. Must have a P_TAGSTRIP and FPT attribute or xdata. Must have a P_TAG1 and FP attribute or xdata. Panel Footprint: Panel symbol that is not used as a terminal or nameplate. Schematic Terminal: Schematic terminal that follows the wire number rather than having a terminal number of its own. Schematic Terminal: Schematic terminal with terminal number. Schematic Child: Schematic secondary symbol that is related to a parent component. Must have a TAG1, TAG, or split TAG1 attribute. Schematic Parent: Schematic symbol is used as a stand-alone symbol or a parent component with related secondary contacts. You can also select it from the Type it or Browse options in the bottom left-hand corner of the icon menu. You can add your new symbol to the icon menu. New symbols you create are inserted with the AutoCAD Electrical toolset Insert Component or Insert Panel Component commands. Selecting the objects allows the tool to track what standard attributes and wire connection points you already inserted. Each time you re-enter the Symbol Builder tool, select objects from within the Select Symbol/Objects dialog box. The AutoCAD Wblock command writes it to disk. You can also exit the command and use regular AutoCAD commands to edit or finish the symbol you are creating. You can exit the Symbol Builder command and re-enter it at any time. They break wires upon insertion, and appear in the bill of material and various component and wire connection reports. Symbols created or converted using Symbol Builder are fully compatible with AutoCAD Electrical toolset.
#AUTOCAD 2023 ELECTRICAL INSTALL#
Install Access database engine dialog box no longer displays a false alarm for some scenarios when launching AutoCAD Electrical.You can convert symbols or create custom components on the fly. PLC database now supports multiple assemblies. The Surf dialog box for cable markers now displays all characters. The parent pin of the connector can now be populated based on the catalog information.īTESTBLOCK workflow in a symbol builder no longer hides the wire connections pin attribute editor palette.
