5 Edit the API call in the COMMAND_LIST column for this wire. For
example, the last argument of this Set Wire type API call is used to
predefine MISC1 coded values with nil when nothing extra is defined.
Before and after are shown:
Before: (c:ace_cb_set_wiretype #data 1 nil nil)
After:(c:ace_cb_set_wiretype #data 1 nil “_WIRETYPE=BRN_@WSIZE@”)
NOTE See the API documentation for more information.
6 Save the spreadsheet.
Define the wire type as no wire numbering
There are two ways to define the wire type and set it to “no wire numbering”.
■ On the marker block for the wire in the circuit template.
■ In the Circuit Builder spreadsheet circuit codes sheet.
NOTE The attribute value defined on the marker block overrides any value defined
in the spreadsheet.
Marker block method
1 Open the circuit template drawing that contains the marker block for
the wire.
2 Find the correct marker block for the wire.
3 Edit its MISC1 attribute value using the format
“_WIRENUMBERS=0;_WIRETYPE={layer name}”.
■ _WIRENUMBERS=0 defines the layer as No Wire Numbering. Any
wire without this flag is created as a normal wire numbering layer by
default.
NOTE This flag applies only if the wire layer does not exist and is created
when the circuit is inserted.
■ _WIRETYPE={layer name} defines the layer name.
