Increment wire numbers
You can force new incremental wire numbers (as opposed to line referenced
numbers) to increment by more than one during insertion.
1 Click Schematic tab ➤ Other Tools panel ➤ Drawing Properties
drop-down ➤ Drawing Properties.
2 Click the Wire Numbers tab.
3 In the Wire Number Format section, select Sequential and set the
increment value.
4 (Optional) For this increment value to be your standard for all new
drawings, follow the same procedure in the Project Properties ➤ Wire
Numbers dialog box.
NOTE You can also do it by creating an electrical template drawing with the
wd_m block pre-inserted and the increment value pre-assigned.
Change the default wire number size
You must change several block inserts in each of the symbol libraries you use.
The wire number block drawings to adjust are: wd_wnh.dwg (horizontal wire
number), wd_wnv.dwg (vertical wire number), wd_wch.dwg (horizontal extra
wire number copy), and wd_wcv.dwg (vertical extra wire number copy). You
can find them in your AutoCAD Electrical symbol library.

"wd_wnh.dwg" in AutoCAD.
