Destination signal arrows

Attach a destination signal to a wire segment of a wire network and relate it to the source signal arrow.

After the source signal arrow is attached to a wire in the drawing, you can attach a destination signal to a wire segment of a wire network. It enables the wire number assigned to another source wire network to carry over to the current network automatically.

Attach a destination signal

  1. Click Schematic tabInsert Wires/Wire Numbers panelSignal Arrows drop-downDestination Arrow. Find
  2. Respond to the prompts as follows:

    Select wire end for Destination:

     Select the top of the hot wire on the schematic on the left side of the drawing at line reference 402 (2)

  3. In the Insert Destination Code dialog box, click Project.
  4. In the Signal codes -- Project-wide Source dialog box, select the following:
  5. Click OK.
  6. In the Insert Destination Code dialog box, verify:

    Code:  24 VDC

    Signal Arrow Style:  1

    Click OK + Update Source.

    The cross-references for your signal insert into the drawing above the hot wire.

Attach source and destination signals to the neutral wires.

    Signal Arrow Style:  1

    Click OK + Update Source.

    Note: If asked to change the destination wire layer, click Yes.

    The cross-references for your signal insert into the drawing above the neutral wire.

  13. Click Schematic tabEdit Wires/Wire Numbers panelShow Signal Paths. Find

    Temporary graphics illustrate the flow of the signals on your drawings.

    Note: There is no limit to the number of source and destination links you can set up. One source network can jump to multiple destinations on one or many drawings. A wire can carry both a destination signal and a source signal pointing to the next daisy-chained destination.
