General Information

A unique type of instance exists for every type of electrical reference. This instance specialization allows you to define a specific set of attributes or text templates for every type.

Warning: Specific behavior on specialized instances cannot be applied to non-specialized instances from previous versions (for example, text template on Logical Wire Instance cannot be applied on a Logical Instance).
