AutoCAD Electrical uses the drawing settings to de-
termine the cross-reference types. During program
run-time, the cross-reference command looks at the
WD_M block as the definition for all referencing on
the drawing.
Settings are maintained at the component to override
the drawing's WD_M block settings. During program Component Cross-Reference Settings
run-time the cross-reference command first looks to
the component definition prior to the WD_M block
as the definition for referencing the component on
the drawing.
During normal operation of cross-referencing commands, AutoCAD Electrical
looks to the component for its settings information prior to using the drawing
settings. If the component has settings defined, those are used. In the event
that there are both component and drawing cross-reference settings on the
same drawing, the component settings are used where applied and the drawing
settings are used for the rest of the components.
Set cross-referencing display
Cross-reference settings are supported at the project, drawing, and component
level. Changes you make to the settings are automatically updated in real
time.
