The plus sign signifies that the folllowing string of text is a location code. Because you have your project set to IEC tag mode AcadE is following IEC rules. If you had an installation code assigned there would be an = sign followed by the installation code, followed by a + sign and the location code, then a - sign and the component tag. There is no option to automatically suppress the = or + signs since that is an IEC standard when merging the installation and location into the tag. You can uncheck the box that combines the installation and location into the tag, so they display above the tag and this will eliminate them. I think you need to set up your project properties for straight JIC by unchecking the combined installation/location boxes or at least uncheck the middle one that merges the installation and location code into the tag, per the illustrations on my tips and tricks page at www.ecadconsultant.com.
