To Edit the Connection Sequence of a Wire Network

Define the wire connection sequence of any wire network consisting of three or more interconnected devices. The network can be either fully contained on the active drawing or pass across multiple drawings using signal source/destination symbols.

1. Click Schematic tabEdit Wires/Wire Numbers panelWire Sequence drop-downEdit Wire Sequence. Find
   Note: You can also access this tool by right-clicking on any wire segment in the wire network.
2. Select any wire segment on the wire network you want to process.
3. On the Edit Wire Connection Sequence dialog box, adjust the connection to connection sequencing in the list by clicking Move Up or Move Down or click Pick Mode to define the sequencing by actual picks at each wire connection point.
   Note: Pick Mode is unavailable when you are working with a wire network that crosses multiple drawing files. If you are working with wire networks that jump to one or more additional drawings, click Freshen to update the wire connectivity database with any out-of-date files.
4. (Optional) To connect additional components directly to a given terminal, select the components and the terminal (marked with a “t” in the left-hand column) in the Wire Connection Sequence list and click Add.

   A copy of the terminal and the actual component move to the Direct-to-Terminal Secondary Sequences list at the bottom of the dialog box. You can then click Move Up or Move Down to change the order of the sequence (if you selected two or more devices plus a terminal) or remove a sequence by selecting the sequence and clicking Reset.

5. Click OK-new.

   Writes the sequence information back to the component wire connections (as Xdata on the wire connection attributes and optionally to terminal symbols in the case of Direct-to-Terminal Secondary sequencing).

6. (Optional) Right-click a wire on the wire network and select Wire Sequence Show Wire Sequence. Press the spacebar to advance through the sequence.

   You can also view the results of your sequencing by running the Wire From/To report.

Note: The asterisk (*) next to a wire in the Wire Connection Sequence portion of the Edit Wire Connection Sequence dialog box indicates that the device wire connection is on another drawing. A “t” indicates that the device is a schematic terminal and is a candidate for Direct-to-Terminal sequencing.
