Printing Wire labels - D-Tools Forum

Is there a way for the To: and From: on the wirelabels to be the connections temerinal, signal, label? Instead of like DVD-001?

Yes. In the report designer, create a custom version of the Wire Label report. Then, select the textbox you want to change (e.g. txtFrom), go to the properties and change DataField to dtr:Connection/dtr:FromSignal. You also have the choice of FromTerminal and FromList (label), and of course there is ToSignal, ToTerminal, ToList.

Note that this does not work for Brother wire labels, as these run differently and can only be edited in Brother software (see SI5 help for details).

Is there a way to make it to or from the Model of equipment?

Pretty much. You can get Manufacturer & Model together by choosing From:ManufacturerModel. Take a look at the image I attached to the last post. If you look at the Data Explorer section, it lists all of the available fields.
