The Assignment of number series section is found in the bottom of the Wire-numbering settings dialogue. In this section you assign number series to different kinds of wires in different Numbering areas.

 

You can separate wires to use different number series based on a single criteria (for example "connection type") or a combination of multiple criteria (for example "connection type" and "location").

 

The table below lists the criteria that you can choose to use in any desired combination, to specify which number series to use.

 

Criteria

Explanation

Number series

The name of a number series to use for numbering of wires corresponding to the specified criteria

Connection type

1

Wire within a device

2

Wire between two devices

3

Wire between a device and a terminal or connector

4

Wire between two terminals or connectors

All

Any of the above

Dimension

Wires with the specified dimensions

Colour

Wires with the specified colours

Node name

Wires with the specified node names

Signal/potential name

Wires with the specified signal/potential names

Function (plant)

Wires to, from, or within the specified functions (plants)

Location

Wires to, from, or within the specified locations

Product

Wires to, from, or within the specified products (circuits)

Complete item designation

Only wires where at least one end matches the specified complete item designation

Between numbering areas

Yes (check) or No (uncheck)

 

The assignment consists of one or many conditions, defined one by one from the top one and downwards, with one line for each condition. The first condition is used as a base. The second condition defines the first exception to that. The third condition yet another exception, and so on, line by line.

 

Typically, you can therefore define how most wires should be numbered in the first line, and then any exceptions from that in the lines that follow.

 

In the most simple case, where all wires are numbered using one and the same number series, one condition is sufficient.

 

Please refer to two example presented in separate sub-topics listed below for a further explanation of assignments.

 

Example 1 (traditional Swedish numbering)

Example 2 (refined variant of the first)
