 Command entry:  AE3PHASEWIRENO

You can use 3 Phase Wire Numbers in a continuous mode. You can insert a long series of incrementing wire numbers and assign each, in turn, to the selected wires.

You can add to the default prefix and suffix list display. Create an ASCII text file and list each prefix/suffix entry, one per line in the file. Name the file <projectname>.3ph (where "projectname" is the name of your active project) or default.3ph and put the file in any folder that is part of search path list of AutoCAD Electrical toolset.

Prefix

Suffix

Specifies the suffix value for the wire numbers. Enter a value or click List to choose from a default pick list.

Hold/Increment

Specifies whether to hold or increment the prefix, base, and suffix values for all wire numbers that are entered onto the drawing. For example, if you set Base = 100/Increment and Suffix = L1/Hold, the wire numbers are 100L1, 101L1, 102L1.
