the inter-wiring of each group. It then ties each common Location group with
a single from/to wire connection. For wire connections with the same Location
group (or if all devices have the same Location value or no Location value),
AutoCAD Electrical attempts to sort the wire connections by physical location
on the drawing and report the from/to connections in that order.
NOTE You can keep jumpers from displaying in Wire From/To reports by placing
the jumpers on a layer that contains the substring "JUMPER."
AutoCAD Electrical provides several methods to more specifically define wire
connection sequencing.
NOTE You can run one or more sequencing methods simultaneously, even in the
same wire network, since there is a hierarchy of which methods take precedence
over others.
Angled Tee Wire Connection Method
The use of angled tee wire connections can influence the wire connection
sequence reporting. The orientation of the tee symbol defines the sequencing.
Each symbol carries attribute WDWSEQ with a three-digit value indicating
the preferred wire sequencing order. The 90-degree turn or the straight-through
section (depending on the style of the angled tee symbol) indicates the
beginning of the sequence. The 45-degree turn is the secondary connection.
AutoCAD Electrical reports each wire connection as it is shown.
This method of influencing from/to connection sequence reporting can fail
to give expected results when the orientation of multiple angled tee connection
symbols results in either:
■ An illogical or impossible connection configuration.
■ More than two wires routed to a given wire connection point on a device.
Set the automatic angled wire tee insert mode (instead of tee intersection dots)
in the Project Properties ➤ Styles dialog box.
NOTE Schematic wire sequencing and Direct-to-Terminal wire sequencing, if
present, overrides the Angled Tee connection sequencing.
Schematic Wire Connection Sequence Method
This method involves touching the connection sequence for each wire network
containing three or more interconnected components. AutoCAD Electrical
places an incrementing connection sequence value on each wire connection
