The next two characters are “W0.” A zero (0) means that the symbol does not trigger a wire number change through it. The first character is “H” or “V” for horizontal or vertical wire insertion. These are referenced by AutoCAD Electrical and its icon menuing system and are inserted as standard AutoCAD blocks with attributes.Ĭable Marker Symbols AutoCAD Electrical cable conductor marker symbols follow this convention: ■ Library Symbol Naming Conventions The default symbol subdirectory, jic1, and a companion 0.125 uniform text height library, jic125, each contain many hundreds of component symbols in standard AutoCAD ".dwg" file format. The following pages describe the naming conventions that should be followed when you create or modify library symbols.

The Catalog Browser can remain open all the time if you use it often. You may need to expand the Icon Menu drop-down to find this command. If the Catalog Browser isn't open, click Schematic tab > Insert Components panel > Catalog Browser.If everything goes as expected, wires break as needed.
