When a wire network contains more than two devices, it is not always clear what the intended order or wire sequence should be. And this can be very important, especially in a Wire From\To report.
Up until now, defining the wire sequence on each wire network has been a manual task using the Edit Wire Sequence command.
This can be very time consuming and difficult on a complicated network.
AutoCAD Electrical 2016 now applies a default wire sequence based on the Tag/Wire Number/Wire Sequence Sort Order property. You can set it for the project so it applies to each drawing in the project.
You can override the project setting on a drawing by selecting a value other than No override in the drawing properties.
With this new feature, you no longer have to set the wire sequence on every network. You only need to define the wire sequence if it does not follow the default order.
