Hide Wire Numbers

AutoCAD Electrical toolset automatically hides wire numbers when the wire number is on the same network as a terminal symbol that carries a copy of the wire number (WIRENO attribute). You can hide or show wire numbers manually.

1. Click Schematic tabEdit Wires/Wire Numbers panelModify Wire Numbers drop-downHide. Find
2. Select a wire number or the wire it is associated to. AutoCAD Electrical toolset moves the wire number to a special hide layer and the number is no longer visible on the screen.

   The new hide layer is created from the wire number layer name with a "_HIDE" suffix. For example, if the wire number text layer is called WIRENO then the hide layer name is called "WIRENO_HIDE". The layer is created automatically when needed and you are asked if you want to freeze this layer.

Unhide Wire Numbers

1. Click Schematic tabEdit Wires/Wire Numbers panelModify Wire Numbers drop-downUnhide. Find
2. Select a wire number or the wire the hidden number is associated to.

   AutoCAD Electrical toolset moves the wire number out of the hide layer and the number is visible on the screen.

Note: Do not use the Hide Wire Number and Unhide Wire Number tools on in-line wire numbers.
