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.
To rename the User1- User 20 column headers, right-click the project name
in the Project Manager and select Properties. In the Project Properties ➤ Wire
Numbers dialog box, Wire Type section, click Rename User Columns. In the
Rename User Columns dialog box, specify a new column name and click OK.
Renaming of user-defined columns is project-specific. You cannot rename the
Color, Size, or Layer Name columns. All of the data corresponding to the
header column can be copied, cut, and pasted to another column.
OK
NOTE This is available only when one wire type record is selected in the list.
Makes the selected wire type the current wire type. If the selected wire type
does not already exist on the drawing, the wire layer is created on the fly and
the wire layer name and properties are saved in the drawing file. For the layer
to be created, the following rules apply:
■ The layer name must be unique.
■ The layer name cannot be left blank.
■ The layer name cannot contain special characters such as / \ " : ; ? * | , = '
> <.
