Reference Designators

You can use a component property called a Component Reference to store reference designators in an electrical harness. You can assign a different Component Reference value for each instance of a component. These references are added automatically when you import from a from-to list or a P&ID file.

You can:
  • View component references in the FeatureManager design tree.
  • Include component references in drawings and BOM tables.
  • Select Highlight Search from the Task Pane to search for component references.
