NOTE Avoid using the AutoCAD MOVE command to reposition a wire number.
An AutoCAD Electrical smart wire number is an invisible block with one visible
wire number attribute associated with it. The X-Y insertion point of the block must
physically lie on the wire segment. If it is forced off the segment during an AutoCAD
MOVE command, then AutoCAD Electrical no longer sees it linked to the wire. To
use straight AutoCAD commands to reposition a wire number, use GRIPS to move
the wire number attribute or any other attribute position editing command. You
reposition the wire number attribute but not its underlying block insertion point.
Swap wire numbers
Swaps two wire numbers on separate wire networks.
Select the two wire networks, or pick the existing wire number text.
1 Click Schematic tab Edit Wires/Wire Numbers panel Modify Wire
Numbers drop-down Swap.
2 Select the first wire or number and then select the second wire or number.
The wire numbers automatically switch positions.
Copy wire numbers
Inserts an extra copy of a wire number.
A copy of a wire number follows the main wire number of a network. You can
position the copy anywhere on a wire network. If AutoCAD Electrical modifies
a main wire number, the copies of the wire number update as well. Extra wire
numbers go on the Wire Copies layer defined in the drawing properties.
