NOTE Like component tags, AutoCAD Electrical uses the
concept of a wire tag format string with replaceable para-
meters. The %N parameter must always be part of the wire
format string. A typical format string might be just this %N
parameter.
Enter the starting sequential number (alpha, numeric, or
alphanumeric) for the drawing. If you enter the same
Sequential
starting sequential number for every drawing of your wiring
diagram set, AutoCAD Electrical confirms at insertion time
that a new sequential wire number tag is not repeated on
any other drawing.
If you set DEMO1 to 100 and DEMO2 to 200, the wire
numbers on DEMO1 start at 100 and those on DEMO2
start at 200. If DEMO1 has more than 100 wire numbers
it starts using wire number 200 and above while DEMO2
would begin its wire numbers where DEMO1 left off
(making sure that duplicate wire numbers are not assigned).
The default is "1". Setting it to "2" with a starting sequential
of "1" would yield wire numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and so
on.
Increment
Sets the wire number tag suffix. This list is used to create
unique reference-based wire number tags for multiple wire
Line Reference
networks beginning at the same reference location (such
as wire network beginning at a location per line reference
number, X-Y grid reference, or X-Zone reference).
Displays a suffix list. List suffix characters for wire numbers
beginning on the same line reference or in the same zone
Suffix Setup
(to keep wire numbers unique). Select one of the 4 pre-
defined suffix lists or enter your own custom suffix list.
Wire Number Options
Assigns a different wire number format based on the wire
layer.
