Trim wires
Trim wires
Use this tool to remove a wire segment and wire tees as required. You can pick
on a single wire or draw a fence through multiple wires to trim.
1 Click Schematic tab ➤ Edit Wires/Wire Numbers panel ➤ Trim Wire.
2 Select the wire segment to remove on the drawing or type F followed by
a [space] to remove multiple wires at once.
3 If you are removing multiple wires, draw a fence through the wires to
trim.
A Zoom Extents is triggered when a wire runs off the screen. If this zooming
back and forth becomes annoying during multiple trims, then zoom back so
that all the circuitry is shown on the screen. Or press Z and [space] at the trim
prompt. It triggers a Zoom Extents that persists through the rest of the
trimming edits.
NOTE You can use the AutoCAD Erase command to remove wires, but wire
connection dots or tees are not removed automatically.
