Override wire type at command prompt
During wire insertion, the current wire type displays at the command prompt.
You can override this by typing in the hot key "T" and selecting a new wire
type from the Set Wire Type dialog box. The new wire type becomes the current
wire type and the command continues with the wire insertion. Use the
following commands:
■ Wires ➤ Insert Wire
■ Wires ➤ Angle Wires ➤ Insert 22.5 Degree Wires (also 45 or 67.5)
■ Wires ➤ Multiple Wire Bus
■ Wires ➤ Add Rung
■ Wires ➤ Ladders ➤ Insert Ladder
NOTE If you select Another Bus (Multi-Wire) in the Multiple Wire Bus dialog box,
the wires are drawn on the same wire layer as that of the existing wire bus; you
do not have the ability to type "T" to change the wire type during wire insertion.
Change/convert wire type
This tool converts lines to wires. Use the grid control to sort and select the
wire types for easy modification.
TIP Use the Create/Edit Wire Type tool to create and edit wire types or type "T"
at the command prompt during wire insertion to use the Set Wire Type tool.
Access:
Click the arrow on the Insert Wire tool to access the Change/Convert Wire Type
tool.
From the Wires menu, select Change/Convert Wire Type.
Right-click on an existing wire and select Change/Convert Wire Type.
Wire type grid
Displays the wire types used in the active drawing. The the wire layer name
and the wire properties like color, size, and user defined properties are listed
in the grid. An 'x' in the Used column indicates that the layer name is currently
used in the drawing; a blank value in this column indicates that the layer
name exists in the drawing but it is not currently being used.
