Annotate ratings attributes

  1. Click the Edit Components tool.
  2. Click the Show All Ratings button in the Insert/Edit Components dialog box.

    The View/Edit Rating Value dialog box displays, letting you enter values for each ratings attribute.

  3. Click the Defaults button next to the edit box to display the list of default values.
  4. Select a line from the file to map its values to the available ratings attributes.

    Notice that a single line may carry multiple values with each value separated by a "|" character. Any text that follows a semi-colon is considered a comment and will be ignored.

  5. Choose whether to select a different file or add a new file to the ratings defaults file.
  6. Click OK to finish the operation.

You may create multiple .WDR files. AutoCAD Electrical will look for a generic defaults file called WD_RATINGS.WDR stored in the AutoCAD Electrical support directory. You may also create a project specific file with the same name and path as the project with the .WDR extension. You may also have Family specific files named for the Family code of the component with the .WDR extension. For example, if the component has the family code "PB" for pushbuttons and a file called PB.WDR exists, it will display when you select the "Family" button.

NoteIf the Show All Ratings button is disabled, the component you are editing does not have a rating attribute.
