To Set Up Label Contents by Pattern
1. Click Tools > Parameters > Pattern. The PARAM PATTERN menu appears.
2. Click Add to specify a target parameter name that contains pattern information for all the specified objects. The MOD PAT TYPE menu appears.
3. Click Wires/Cables to modify parameters of wires and cables or Ref Objects to modify parameters of components and connectors. You are prompted to specify the name of the target parameter that you want to set.
4. Type a target parameter name to be set that contains pattern information for all the specified objects and press ENTER. You are prompted to specify the name of the parameter that contains the pattern.
5. Type a source parameter name that contains the pattern, to override the default pattern, if needed. You are prompted to specify a default pattern.
6. Type a default pattern, for example, &<param_name1>-&<param_name2>.
 
* The separator can be any valid character.
7. Click Execute All. The system loops through all the specified objects, evaluates the patterns, and sets the target parameter to the value obtained from the pattern.
Use this procedure for both the ref_des pattern and for the wire name or rail name pattern.
