Please note that Index and Electrical data will be assigned automatically, which you will see directly in the dialogue box that appears, directly after you have placed the symbol where you want it to be, as shown in the figure above.

The first available item designation will be presented as default, for instance –K1. You can confirm the default or change it to something else.

Click the OK button to confirm.
