You can quickly fix or unfix all wire numbers across the active project using
the Project-Wide Utilities tool.
1 Click the arrow on the Project Manager tool to access the
Project-Wide Utilities tool.
2 Click the Project-Wide Utilities tool.
3 In the Project-Wide Utilities dialog box, Wire Numbers section,
select Set all wire numbers to fixed or Set all wire numbers to
normal, and click OK.
4 Select the drawings to process and click OK.
Modify/fix/unfix
When a wire number is fixed, the wire number attribute is renamed and moved
to a special fixed wire number layer. Assigning a different color to this layer
makes it easy to identify which wire numbers are fixed and which are normal.
The layer name for fixed wire numbers is entered in the Define Layers dialog
box (from the Drawing Properties ➤ Drawing Format dialog box).
Access:
Click the Edit Wire Number tool.
From the Wires menu, select Edit Wire Number.
Specifies the wire number to edit. Use the arrows to scroll
through possible wire numbers.
Wire Number
If you enter an existing wire number during the insert/edit
process, a warning dialog displays (turn off the warning in
the Project Properties ➤ Project Settings dialog box. This
temporarily disables the warning dialog box for the current
session of AutoCAD Electrical). This alerts you of the duplic-
ation and suggests alternative wire number based on the
user-defined format. You can select whether to use the
duplicated wire number, use a new wire number that is
suggested, or you can type in a wire number.
