Wire type grid
Displays the wire types used in the active drawing. The wire layer name and
the wire properties like color, size, whether the wire layer is processed for wire
numbers, and user-defined properties are listed in the grid. An 'x' in the Used
column indicates that the layer name is currently used in the drawing. A blank
value in this column indicates that the layer name exists in the drawing but
it is not currently being used.
A “No” in the Wire Numbering column indicates that wires on this layer do
not receive a wire number. The Insert Wire Numbers command follows these
rules:
■ If all wires in the network are on layers set “No” for Wire Numbering, no
new wire number is inserted.
■ If any wire in the network is on a layer set “Yes” for Wire Numbering, the
existing non-fixed wire number is updated or a new wire number is inserted.
■ If a wire network already has a non-fixed wire number, it is updated
regardless of the Wire Numbering setting. Use the Delete Wire Numbers
command to remove the wire number.
NOTE Manually maintain wire layer type consistency through signal arrows.
To rename the User1- User 20 column headers, right-click the project name
in the Project Manager and select Properties. In the Project Properties ➤ Wire
Numbers dialog box, Wire Type section, click Rename User Columns. In the
Rename User Columns dialog box, specify a new column name and click OK.
Renaming of user-defined columns is project-specific. You cannot rename the
Color, Size, or Layer Name columns. All the data corresponding to the header
column can be copied, cut, and pasted to another column.
OK
NOTE This option is available only when one wire type record is selected in the
list.
Makes the selected wire type the current wire type. If the selected wire type
does not exist on the drawing, the wire layer is created on the fly. The wire
layer name and properties are saved in the drawing file. For the layer to create,
the following rules apply:
■ The layer name must be unique.
■ The layer name cannot be left blank.
