Define wire jumpers
You can create internal jumpers on a selected component using the Add/Edit
Internal Jumper tool. When wire numbers are inserted using AutoCAD
Electrical, these internal jumpers are read and wire numbers are assigned
accordingly.
If you select to jumper two pins on a component together, an alert displays
indicating that internal jumpering will cause a conflict with the existing wire
number assignments. If you click Continue, an internal jumper inserts between
the two pins on the component; you need to rerun the Insert Wire Numbers
tool to reconcile these two different wire numbers now jumpered together. If
you click Cancel, the internal jumper data is not inserted.
NOTE You can keep jumpers from displaying in Wire From/To reports by placing
the jumpers on a layer that contains the substring "JUMPER."
Add wire jumpers from a list
1 Select Components ➤ Component Miscellaneous ➤ Add/Edit Internal
Jumper.
2 Select terminals from the list.
Drag your mouse to select contiguous terminals or use the CTRL button
to select noncontiguous terminals.
3 Click Add.
Add wire jumpers by picking
1 Select Components ➤ Component Miscellaneous ➤ Add/Edit Internal
Jumper.
2 Click Pick. The dialog closes. You can select as many terminals as you
want.
Try to select as near the terminal as you can since AutoCAD Electrical
finds the closest connection terminal to your selected point.
