Wire Tagging

Anonymous — Sat, 01 Apr 2017 06:31:08 GMT

Dear All,

I have a question regarding the wre tagging in AutoCAD.

I want to modify the wire tag.. into this format

Source Destination Format.

SOURCE COMPONENT TAG - SOURCE COMPONENT TERMINAL / DESTINATION COMPONENT TAG - DESTINATION COMPONENT - TERMINAL

Say for example.

I have a push button going to a relay

PB1-4/K1-13

How do I configure that in Autocad electrical?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Joh

There is no out-of-the-box solution for this. But you should be able to achieve this using utility that Nate Holt once created:

Hi Sirs

I still don't know how to use the LISP files.

I've already used the APPLOAD command

but I do not know how do next, the blog has no instructions further after you APPLOAD the .lsp files.

Hope you can help out.

Thanks in advance.

Okay Sir.

Here's what I did.

I have a diagram already with wire no.s as default like on the picture

First, I APPLOAD the minimum_alldwg.lsp file

Then It successfully loaded, then I tried the OTHER_END as per instructed

But it has error

I really hope you could help me on this one Sir.

You must download and appload the file OTHER_END.lsp that you can find here:

Does it still say "unknown command" when you type OTHER_END on the command line, after you have loaded OTHER_END.LSP ?

It does not give me an "unknown command" error anymore but after i APPLOAD both, nothing happens.

What should supposed to happen after I appload?

😞 I really appreciate your responses Sir, I hope you could help me.

Thanks a lot

It's supposed to change the existing wire numbers. Do you have wire numbers inserted on your wires?

Hi Sir,

Sir I already have wire no.s inserted in my wire.

Thanks,

Sir Have you seen my screen cast?

Is it viewable?

Thanks

After the appload, you must type OTHER_END on the command line, to start the command! Just as I've written HERE

Hi Sir,

Please see my new screen cast

OTHER_END COMMAND

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/community/screencast/6fa96876-f4fa-4d9f-9813-473587069e45

I was able to type OTHER_END at the command prompt.

However, it does not give me my desired output.

Say for example from breaker CB2 to transformer T1 tag should be.. CB2-2/T1-H1 and CB2-4/T1-H2 following the format.

Source Tag Name - Source Pin / Destination Tag Name - Destination Pin

I think there's some need to configure the settings or some sort.

We are almost close to the solution of this problem Sir. I am really glad for your responses.

I hope we be able to find solution to this.

Thank you in advance!

Ok
I was thinking of the wrong code. Try to type MILNUM_ALLDWG instead, and see what you get.
You might need to tweak the code a little bit to get exactly what you want.

Hi Sir I tried using milnumx_alldwg command

Please see my screen cast again on the link below.

http://autode.sk/2suaLy3

Still i wasn't able to get the right ouput I am expecting.

I think what we needed to do is to configure the codes in the lsp files.

However, I really have zero idea on that 😞

I hope you can help me Sir.

Thank you and regards,

Joh
