Parameters for Wire Labels
You can include the following parameters in a wire label:
&wire_name—Displays the name of the wire to which the note is attached. Upon creation, wires are assigned default names based on the diagram options. Use Edit > Value to modify the parameter value.
&spool_name—Displays the name of the spool referenced by the wire. Modification of the referenced spool name is not allowed.
&spool_<parameter>—Displays the value of a parameter in the wire’s spool. Replace <parameter> with any spool parameter, for example, &spool_color. You cannot use Edit > Value to edit the value of a parameter. Edit the spool parameter file to modify the parameter value.
&wire_<parameter>—Displays the value of a parameter in the wire. Replace<parameter> with any user-defined wire parameter, for example, &wire_circuitid. You cannot use Edit > Value to edit the value of a parameter. Edit the wire parameter file to modify the parameter value.
The default value for def_wire_label is &wire_name
 
* If you change the def_wire_label parameter, only new wires are affected. You must change the existing wire labels using Edit > Properties to modify a single label, or use View > Update > Labels to reset all labels according to the def_wire_label parameter.
Alternatively, use the configuration options to determine the wire label position and orientation.
