The Wire Labels report is used to create wire labels for the wire connections in Visio and AutoCAD. This report is intended to be used with schematic drawings.
In Visio, any SI shape connected with an SI wire shape will generate data for these reports.
In AutoCAD, only schematic blocks and schematic wire blocks generate data for this report.
Wire Label Report Variations
There are three variations of the Wire Checklist report.
Wire Labels By Head End
The labels from this report display Head End, From Device (Component ID,) To Location, and Wire (Component ID.)
The labels do not display any I/O fields from schematic connections.
Wire Labels By Location
The labels from this report display Wire Location, From Device (Component ID,) To Device (Component ID,) and Wire (Component ID.)
The labels do not display any I/O fields from schematic connections.
Wire Labels By Wire Number
The labels from this report display Device (Component ID) - (Label,) To Device (Component ID) - (Label,) and Wire (Component ID).
The label data for this report comes from the label of the I/O used on the schematic shape or block.
Label Sheets
The label sheets (Model LSL78 from Impact, Inc.) that these reports were designed to be used with are sheets of 7 columns with 3 rows (21 labels/sheet).
The text prints on a white part of the sticker and the rest of the sticker is clear for wrapping or protecting the text.
