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
■ The layer name cannot contain special characters such as / \ " : ; ? * | , = '
> <
Set wire type
This tool sets wire types for new wires. Use the grid control to sort and select
the wire types for modification.
TIP Use the Create/Edit Wire Type tool to create and edit wire types or the
Change/Convert Wire Type tool to convert lines to wires.
Type "T" at the command prompt during wire insertion.
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.
