Red in-line marker, horizontal wire insert The first character is “H” or “V” for horizontal wire or vertical wire insertion. In-line wire marker symbols follow this naming convention: ■ This can be very small but it needs to be present for AutoCAD Electrical to correctly see the in-line inserted block as it traces the wire network. NOTE The ladder line reference block used by AutoCAD Electrical is determined by the ladder reference configuration selected in the Referencing tab on the Drawing Configuration dialog box.ĭumb In-Line Wire Marker Symbols Dumb in-line wire marker symbols must be constructed with a tiny piece of 'pigtail' line entity at each connection point. This symbol name is used by AutoCAD Electrical when you select ‘User Block’ from the Referencing tab on the Drawing Configuration dialog box. Optional, user-defined alternative to WD_MLRH.dwg. Same as above but for a ladder that lies on its side. These carry the drawing’s settings for panel layout functions.īlock insert that carries a ladder’s first line reference number and additional information such as rung spacing and ladder length.

Optional block insert consisting of several invisible attributes.

Parent cable conductor marker, vertical wire insertionĬhild cable marker, vertical wire insertionĬomponent Location Mark Symbols AutoCAD Electrical expects the location symbol names to begin with the characters “WDXX.”Ĭonfiguration and Ladder Master Line Reference Symbols AutoCAD Electrical expects to find these block inserts: WD_M.dwgīlock insert consisting of about 50 invisible attributes. Parent cable conductor marker, horizontal wire insertionĬhild cable marker, horizontal wire insertion The remaining characters are not specified. The next two characters are “W0.” A zero (0) means that the symbol does not trigger a wire number change through it. The first character is “H” or “V” for horizontal or vertical wire insertion. These are referenced by AutoCAD Electrical and its icon menuing system and are inserted as standard AutoCAD blocks with attributes.Ĭable Marker Symbols AutoCAD Electrical cable conductor marker symbols follow this convention: ■ Library Symbol Naming Conventions The default symbol subdirectory, jic1, and a companion 0.125 uniform text height library, jic125, each contain many hundreds of component symbols in standard AutoCAD '.dwg' file format. The following pages describe the naming conventions that should be followed when you create or modify library symbols. Library take full advantage of the AutoCAD Electrical features. ■ Using Multiple Symbol Libraries ■ Substituting Symbols in the Though not mandatory, you are encouraged to follow the convention in order to Symbol file names should conform to the AutoCADĬonventions Electrical naming convention.
