Wire It
Reviews connectors placed on the active drawing and runs the wiring
commands to make connections between the connectors.
■ When both ends of the wire connections are found on the active drawing,
the wires are generated between the two points. Wire numbering is added
based on current configurations.
■ When only one end of the wire connection is found on the active drawing,
text is placed next to the connector in the X?WIREnn wire annotation
attribute on the connector symbol. This text is overwritten when the second
end of the wire is placed on the drawing and the Wire It command is run
again.
■ When neither connection for a wire is on the active drawing, the wiring
command is ignored until you add the connectors into the drawing file.
NOTE If the AutoCAD Electrical drawing is missing one end of the connector or
if a connection was not found, wiring information is displayed next to the pin.
The information is written into a log file so you know AutoCAD Electrical was
unable to resolve the wire connections in the drawing. The log file name is {drawing
filename.LOG} and is found in the same folder as the drawing file.
