work. This sequence data is then maintained inside
of the drawing file and subsequently extracted into
the project scratch database file to control the
format of wire connections listed in the WFRM2ALL
table.
Add custom signal arrow styles
The icon menu graphics that display for the various signal styles are bitmap
files saved to your C:\Program Files
[(x86)] \Autodesk\Acade {version}\Acade\
folder where AutoCAD Electrical's Insert Signal utilities and Drawing Properties
tool can access them.
1 Create the new style in AutoCAD.
2 Zoom in to the new arrow style.
3 Save the file as a bitmap using the following name definition:
A_STYLExh.bmp where "x" is the arrow style 1-9.
NOTE If the resulting bitmap is too small or off-center, open the source
drawing in AutoCAD again. Resize your AutoCAD graphics window so that
it is more square. Center the image and resave. Repeat until you are satisfied
with the result.
Insert destination code
The wire number for a destination-arrowed wire network is retrieved from its
associated source-arrowed wire network. Enter the same number/word/phrase
that is carried on the source arrow to make the link to it.
NOTE A Destination signal arrow cannot be tied to a wire network that carries a
pre-assigned fixed wire number.
Access:
Click the arrow on the Source/Destination Signals tool to access the Destination
Signal Arrow tool.
