Number wires

Every wire that you draw in a schematic can have numbering applied to it. A mark is applied to it that lets you manage and optimize installation cabling. This numbering is optional, and you can choose to number only certain sets of wire types.

You can also have two numbering modes: an equipotential numbering mode (all wires connected on the same potential), and a wire numbering mode (physical wires connecting the devices).

Wire numbering follows a simple rule: the numbering starts in the first drawing and continues through the drawings, based on their order as displayed in the dockable panel. In the drawing, the actual position of the wires is also taken into account. The numbering starts in the upper left and increases toward the lower-right hand side.

Numbering parameters are defined in the wire type manager and in the project configuration. You can start numbering your wires at any time during project development. You can also manually apply wire numbering, or modify any previously-numbered wire.
