Cable labels

In addition to the label sizes, you can control which labels are created.

The text can be positioned left aligned or centered. You can de­termine if Unit, and/or field designation should also be proc­essed.  If so, you can output the text in Multiline style, e.g. dif­ferent lines will be created for Unit designation, field designa­tion and reference name. The required line distance is calculated from the font size used.

Hint

For left aligned text there is a margin of 5% of the label width.

WSCAD 5 offers 4 different types of cable labels:

Cables

Cable name only

Cable - Dest.

Cable name + Reference name of destination (typically an external component)

Cable - Source

Cable name + Reference name of source (typically a terminal)

Source - Cable - Dest.

Reference name of source + Cable name + Reference name of desti­nation

Tip

Even when you select 'Multiline style' and the Unit or field designation is included, the Unit/Field information is not printed on a separate line.

If you want to specify further restriction criteria you can do it with the 'Selection' field.  All the entered specifications refer to a reference name, depending on the type of cable label you have selected:

Cable label type

Reference name

Cable

Cable

Cable - Dest.

Destination

Cable - Source

Source

Source - Cable - Dest.

Destination

By use of the wildcards '?', '*' and '#' you can create the appro­priate specification.  Multiple specifications must be separated with a ';'.  If the toggle 'Inclusive mode' is selected, only those components are processed which match the selection.

Here you can determine a label print out 1..9. (For Equipment and Cable labels).
