special purpose outlet text

Its there but greyed out and un-editable. All the text parameters are there and functional just cant edit the text. Am I missing something?

What is the part? Is it pulling for the ID? If you look at the code, perhaps you can find where the parameter gets defined and see what is controlling it.

David:

I am looking at the Special Purpose Outlet US 19 (for AC 19). At the top of the Parameter List, change Type to Custom Outlet, and the Text parameter is active.

Well that was simple enough. While here though have to wonder about the american use of the electrical symbols and how users are accepting / incorporating them?

A group us users wrote a fairly good electrical object a while back. You can find it here Electrigon as well as other places.
