Adding wire numbers

Add wire numbers to the connector diagram.

Wire numbers are blocks or attributes inserted on a line wire entity. AutoCAD Electrical toolset assigns each wire number type to its own layer. You can assign a different color to each of these layers so you can easily tell them apart. The wire number placement is set to in-line as defined on the Drawing Properties Wire Numbers dialog box.
