Overview of wire color/gauge labels
When you select a wire to label, AutoCAD Electrical reads the wire's layer
name, retrieves the matching text label, and inserts it as a label/leader on the
drawing. The resulting wire color/gauge label is automatically revised if you
change the wire layer of a labeled wire.
The mapping file is an ASCII text file with a ".wdw" extension. The default
mapping file, default.wdw, is referenced if a project-specific .wdw file is not
found. The mapping file lists each wire layer name followed by the wire
color/gauge label text that is to be assigned to that wire layer.
You can easily set up or edit these labels. Select the wire color/gauge tool and
select Setup to display the setup dialog. All of the current drawing's valid layer
names are listed in the upper dialog list along with any matching labels found
in the ".wdw" file (if it exists). Highlight any layer name and type in the label
you want to associate with it. Use the "|" character to trigger a line break within
your label text. For example, "RED_14_THHN:RED|AWG#14" will cause wire
labels for layer "RED_14_THHN" to display as two-line "RED" and "AWG#14"
labels. Your entries are saved to the ".wdw" file for instant reference as you
insert wire color/gauge labels.
