Edit the connection sequence of a wire network
You can explicitly define the wire connection sequence of any wire networks
consisting of three or more interconnected devices.You control how AutoCAD
Electrical analyzes the circuits (such as the order of the contents in the
WFRM2ALL table in the project’s scratch database file) and how from/to
connection information is output to various reports or annotated on to
physical footprint representations (using the
Wire Annotation of Panel
Footprint
on page 1588 tool).
NOTE The asterisk (*) next to a wire in the Wire Connection Sequence portion of
the Edit Wire Connection Sequence dialog box indicates that the device wire
connection is on another drawing. A “t” indicates that the device is a schematic
terminal and is a candidate for Direct-to-Terminal sequencing.
This tool predefines the connection sequence of a wire network. The network
can be either fully contained on the active drawing or pass across multiple
drawings using signal source/destination symbols.
1 Click Schematic tab ➤ Edit Wires/Wire Numbers panel ➤
➤
Wire Sequence drop-down ➤ Edit Wire Sequence.
NOTE You can also access this tool by right-clicking on any wire segment in
the wire network.
2 Select any wire segment on the wire network you want to process.
3 On the Edit Wire Connection Sequence dialog box, adjust the connection
to connection sequencing in the list by clicking Move Up or Move Down
or click Pick Mode to define the sequencing by actual picks at each wire
connection point.
