    PolyWire

      Product(s): Promis.e, Bentley Substation
      Version(s): through 08.11.13.140
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Wiring Features
      Subarea: Polywire

    Background

    The PolyWire tool is for drawing wires that overlap without joining, unlike standard wires.  Polywires are often used where the middle segments overlap and the ends are fanned out.

    Bends

    The bends of polywires are "chamfered".  The chamfer cannot be removed or replaced with a fillet/radius.  The size, or dimensions, of the chamfer is determined by the active grid spacing.

    Connections

    Symbols cannot be inserted onto a polywire. Unlike standard wires, polywires will not break at the connection points when a symbol is inserted.  Place symbols first and draw the polywires to the connection points.

    To start the PolyWire tool

    * is used to denote a menu selection that is not necessary in some versions or platforms.
