Hello,
Newbie here.
I want to add a default value to attributes on a symbol that represents a custom (PCB) part. Right now the attribute shows as #P_TAG_0. I need to give it a unique identifier (like Ja) that shows on the drawing that I can understand so that when I edit the terminals I know which connection point I am editing. It will not really be Ja, I just need to identify the point. I did a workaround where I edited the terminals and gave them a temporary "Ja" label, so I would then print it out and add the signal codes and true "J" numbers. It's a pain, and when I edit the symbol (for example to add a connection point) all that disappears.
(BTW, I am a longtime AutoCAD Electrical user, and that may be confusing me conceptually!)
Lynne, you'll really need to better understand SOLIWORKS Electrical's handling of the Component as it relates to symbols and parts:
your #P_TAG_0 information is just passing information from the PART you've assigned, and passes the terminal name from the part through to the symbol. So I would put in your Library version of that part, a "placeholder" name for the part terminal. Then, when you place a symbol and assign that part, it will show "Ja" or whatever it may be. Now, in the instance of the project you're dealing with, you can right click on the symbol, choose "Edit Terminals" and chance the naming of "Ja" to something else, and that will update what the symbol is representing as well.
