3 phase wire numbering
This tool speeds up the process of inserting special wire numbering generally
associated with 3-phase bus and motor circuits. It can also be used in a
continuous mode. You can insert a long series of incrementing wire numbers
and assign each, in turn, to the wires you pick.
You can add to the default prefix and suffix list display. Create an ASCII text
file and list each prefix/suffix entry, one per line in the file. Name the file
<projectname>.3ph (where "projectname" is the name of your active project)
or default.3ph and put the file in any folder that is part of AutoCAD Electrical's
search path list.

Hold/Increment
example, if you set Base = 100/Increment and Suffix = L1/Hold, the
wire numbers will be 100L1, 101L1, 102L1.
