Add wire information to footprints

After you add wire numbers to your schematics and extract this information, you are ready to annotate your panel footprint symbols with this information. The information can be added to the drawing in two different ways. You can build your panel footprint symbols with some target attributes that are used for the wire connection information. If these target attributes are not present on the panel footprint, AutoCAD Electrical adds a smart MTEXT entity to carry the wire information. If the panel footprint blocks are modified to carry certain target attributes, then these are updated with the wire information.

  1. Click the Wire Annotation of Panel Footprint tool.
  2. Specify to export the data for the active drawing or the entire project and click OK.
  3. Select the wire numbering format to use.
  4. Select the layout devices to update with the schematic wire connection information.
  5. Click OK.
  6. If you are exporting the data for the entire project, select the drawings to process, and click OK.
