Multiple attribute
Attributes are special text strings found in symbols, title blocks,
and 2D footprints (blocks). They have a Label
(their name), a Prompt (their
description), and a Value (the
text to display).
Attributes are used to propagate electrical project information or software
databases. Sometimes, this data can be represented by lengthy text
that may hinder the design of the scheme.
The Multiple Attribute command
lets you create a multiple attribute based on an existing (single) attribute,
the value of which will be displayed over several lines of text.

If the Number of attributes parameter
is greater than two, uncheck this box to automatically place the attributes
one under the other. Otherwise, you will be asked to click an insertion
point for each attribute.
The name of the attribute is modified. The suffix {n}
is placed at the end, where n
is equal to the order number of the multiple attribute.
When entering information to propagate to the next line of the multiple
attribute, the character | must
be used as a line separator, example: Circuit
breaker | Tetrapolar
| 4P 3D
