User-Defined Symbols

Wire Dot Symbols
AutoCAD Electrical expects this symbol name to be "WDDOT.dwg."
Wire Number Symbols
An AutoCAD Electrical wire number is a block insert consisting of a single
wire number attribute. The origin of the block insert lies on its wire with the
wire number attribute floating above, below, or off to the side of the block's
insertion point.
Examples:
Wire number for horizontal wire insertion WD_WNH.dwg
Wire number for vertical wire insertion WD_WNV.dwg
Extra wire number copy for horizontal wire WD_WCH.dwg
Extra wire number copy for vertical wire WD_WCV.dwg
AutoCAD Electrical also supports inline wire numbers that follow the value
of the main wire number. An inline wire marker has a block name that follows
that of a terminal symbol that does not trigger a wire number change.
Examples:
Inline wire number marker, horizontal wire insertion, short wire
number HT0_W1.dwg
