■ Fix or unfix the wire number
■ Change the visibility of the wire number
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).
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 box displays. Turn off the warning
in the Project Properties ➤ Project Settings dialog box. It
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.
NOTE An error log file is created for every project regard-
less whether you chose to display a dialog box or not. The
warning is saved in the log file named "<project_name>_er-
ror.log" and is saved in the User subdirectory.
Prefills the wire number edit box with the text entity you
select. Use Up or Down to quickly increment or decrement
the wire number.
