    Default Multiple Electrical Connectors

    I've modified a Junction Box with two electrical connectors so that I can provide more than one circuit to the junction box. This seems to work fine but I can't seem to annotate both circuits. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Don't do it that way. Try it using the attached video as an example.

    Was this updated in the 2011 version? I couldt have sworn I tried everything in 2010 to get this to work and couldn't do it. The video makes it seem so easy..

    That's why I recorded a video of it!

    It works fine in 2010. That's where I first used the process.

    The issue you may have run into is that this does not work on an element that has more than one electrical connector when the other connectors are not assigned to a panel. That's one of the reasons I dropped the idea of populating families with multiple power connectors (circuit tags being another) and went with a separate invisible element for second connections where needed.

    Hi, Can we replace multi-circuits tag with coma (1,2,3,4) by slash (1/2/3/4)? By default, it takes the coma and I can't change for the slash. Do you guys have any solution?
