Import connector pin descriptions

I have been using the insert connector from list feature in autocad electrical. This feature is a real time saver but I can't find a way to auto-populate the pin descriptions. Is there a way to import connector pin descriptions (termdesc?j or termdesc?p) from an excel wirelist? The only wire I have found to edit/add pin descriptions is editting them one by one.

 

Thanks for you input.

As far as I know, there are no standard ways to do this in AcadE.

 

But API will give you some tools that you might use.

Copy/Paste this code to the command line and press enter. Then type POPULATECONNECTOR, press enter and select a connector Smiley Happy

 

(defun C:POPULATECONNECTOR ()
(setq en (car (entsel)))
(c:wd_modattrval en "TERMDESC01P" "LISP IS" nil)
(c:wd_modattrval en "TERMDESC01J" "FUN?" nil)
(c:wd_modattrval en "TERMDESC02P" "HOT" nil)
(c:wd_modattrval en "TERMDESC02J" "DOG" 1)
)

Maybe you can create some different lisp-commands for the different connector types you have?
