List of Wires

Generate a wire list via Outputs - List of wires. Each row shows a wire and both components it connects (in the format component:connection point number).

list of wires

The list of wires differs depending on the type of schematic:

Multi-line schematic: A connection represents an individual wire. The list contains a complete inventory of all wires.

Single-line schematic: A connection corresponds to a specific cable. The list serves as a cable inventory.

Hydraulic schematic: A connection represents an individual line. The list contains all hydraulic routes in the project.

Check the merge wires of the same name checkbox to combine identically named wires into a single entry.

connections with the same name displayed as one connection

Wire Attributes

Wire attributes let you store extra information about individual wires, such as wire color.

  1. Right-click the table header.
  2. Select New column from the menu.
  3. In the dialog, choose "custom" and enter a variable name, e.g. "color".
  4. A new column appears in the wire list where you can enter the attribute values (e.g. a specific color).

Wire Length

You can add a wire length column to the wire list.

Wire length in the wire list.
  1. Right-click the table header.
  2. Select New Column from the menu.
  3. In the dialog, select the variable _len (length).
  4. The program automatically fills in the drawn wire length. If the drawing scale is set, lengths appear in real units. Otherwise, you'll see "paper" units.
  5. If you prefer to enter your own length estimates, choose Custom instead, enter a variable name (e.g. length), and confirm with OK.
