Update wire signal and stand-alone cross-reference
There may be times that you need to update your source or destination signals
singly, drawing-wide, or project-wide. This utility updates cross-reference
information for two types of cross-reference symbols: wire number signal
arrow symbols and stand-alone cross-reference symbols.
Access:
Click the arrow on the Source/Destination Signals tool to access the Update
Signal References tool.
From the Wires menu, select Signal References ➤ Update Signal References.
Wire Signals
Updates the from/to cross-reference annotation on
each wire network source and destination arrow
symbol.
Update source/destination cross-refer-
ences
Makes the wire number tags on the destination end
match the wire number carried on the source end
of each wire signal pair.
Update source/destination wire number
tags
Stand-Alone Cross-Reference Symbols
Set up the desired cross-reference format in the Cross-Reference Format section
of the Drawing Properties ➤ Cross-Reference dialog box. This is on a
per-drawing basis.
Updates the cross-reference annotation between
pairs of stand-alone cross-reference symbols. These
Update stand-alone cross-reference sym-
bols
are wire number signal symbols, but without a
WIRENO attribute and do not attach to wires. They
can float. Insert these from the schematic Insert
Component ➤ Component Miscellaneous dialog
box.
