Wires

®
AutoCAD Electrical treats AutoCAD line entities as
wires when the lines are placed on an AutoCAD
Electrical defined wire layer. These lines get tagged with
wire numbers and show up in various wire connection
reports. Two wire segments connect if the end of one
wire segment touches or falls with a small trap distance
of any part of the other wire segment. This connection
can be at the end of the other wire or anywhere along
the length of the other wire. AutoCAD Electrical
considers a wire connected to a component if the wire
end falls within a trap distance from the wire
connection-point attribute of a component.
