display displays in red when it detects that the routing approaches within
a wire connection trap distance of another wire.
4 Click a point on the screen to set the endpoint of the wires or press "C"
+ Enter to lock down the current routing and continue to draw multiple
wires. If the bus approaches a multi-connection device, such as a
connector, it attempts to align the spacing of the bus wires to match with
the wire connections.
5 Right-click to create the wires. The wires and wire connection dots insert,
and loops or gaps (if configured) automatically insert at wire crossing
points.

From the XML export from Autodesk Inventor Professional (AIP) into AutoCAD
Electrical, you can select from a list of connectors defined in the export, and
then place the connectors onto a 2D drawing file. After the connectors are
inserted onto the drawing, click Wire on the Connector Selection dialog box
to place all wire connections to all components on the drawing file. AutoCAD
Electrical parses the file data to determine all wire From and To connections.
Once the wiring information is determined, the wires are routed making sure
to miss existing geometry on the drawing. The wire insertion tool finds the
best possible route with the fewest amount of wire loops in between the
connection reducing the requirement on gap pointers. The wires are connected
in the appropriate position on the connector representation.
As the wires are inserted, the wire types in the XML file are applied to the
Wire Layer in the AutoCAD Electrical drawing. Additionally, wire numbers
and cable marker symbols are inserted onto the drawing. The wire numbers
are inserted following the drawing's wire number setting (above wire, in-line
with wire, or below wire). The first cable marker listed in the XML file is
