Tag- Autocad Electrical [portable]

To truly understand the ecosystem, one must distinguish between the different types of tag attributes found in symbol libraries.

In the world of electrical engineering and control panel design, clarity is not a luxury—it is a necessity. A schematic drawing is more than just lines and circles; it is a language. At the very heart of this language lies the concept of the "Tag." For professionals using Autodesk’s industry-specific toolkit, understanding the mechanics and nuances of the workflow is the difference between a drawing that is merely pretty and a database that drives productivity.

This is the most common attribute found on the main body of a device. It typically appears on the "Parent" symbol. For example, on a motor starter coil, the TAG1 attribute holds the unique identifier (e.g., "M100"). At the very heart of this language lies

When you insert a child symbol, AutoCAD Electrical asks you to link it to a parent. Once linked, the TAG2 attribute automatically inherits the TAG1 value of the parent. If the parent is tagged "CR5," the child contact automatically becomes "CR5." This dynamic linking ensures that if you rename the parent, the children update automatically.
