Overrides the default wire number format by using layer
defined formats. Change the wire layer name, wire number
format, starting wire sequence, and wire number suffix. Layer Setup
Specifies to use a wire number terminal on a wire network
as the wire network's line reference value for calculating a Based on Terminal Symbol Location
reference-based wire number. For example, a wire network
starts at line reference 100 and drops down and over on
line reference 103. If there is a schematic terminal symbol
that carries the WIRENO attribute located on line reference
103 and this option is enabled, AutoCAD Electrical calcu-
lates a reference-based wire number using 103 instead of
100. If there are multiple wire number terminals on this
network, the line reference value of the upper left-most
terminal is used.
Specifies to automatically hide the wire number for a wire
network that has a wire number-type terminal. Hidden on Wire Network with Ter-
minal Displaying Wire Number
Specifies to assign a wire number for each wire rather than
the default one wire number per wire network. On per Wire Basis
Specifies the wire number ranges to exclude if using sequen-
tial wire numbers. (applied to the %N part of the wire
number tag format) Exclude
Syntax is <starting>-<ending> to show range (for example
1000-1499). Multiple ranges are allowed and must be
separated with a comma or semi-colon (for example, 1000-
1099;2500-2599;). You can also use 2;4;6 or 2,4,6 for val-
ues not in a range.
New Wire Number Placement
NOTE The Insert Wire Number tool does not take the current wire number setting
(in-line, above or below) into account when updating existing wire numbers; this
setting is used only when inserting new wire numbers. Use the Toggle Wire Number
In-Line tool for flipping existing wire numbers among the 3 modes.
Places the wire number above the physical wire. Above Wire
