How do I make gauge and color or other wire properties appear along with the wire numbers on schematics?
The information that is displayed along with wire numbers is controlled with the Wire Label Display setting. This setting can be changed by selecting Options > Project Options > Wire Settings (formerly Wire Options) > Label Preferences then clicking the Edit button for "Wire label display".
Use the Load Profile button to select from the pre-defined "Wire Tag (only)" and "Wire Tag (complete)" profiles or pre-existing custom profiles. "Wire Tag (complete)" includes the gauge and color in addition to the wire number. Custom profiles can be created using the expression builder in that dialog and saved with the Save Profile button. Saved profiles can be loaded in other projects.
Starting with promis•e and Bentley Substation V8i SELECTseries 7, different saved profiles can be selected for use on different branches in Wiring Manager. The profile specified in the project options will be the profile used by default. It is now also possible to display the properties of each branch represented by a logical line.
