    Wiring Manager

      Product(s): Promis.e, Bentley Substation
      Version(s): 08.11.12 through 10.00.00.232
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Wiring Features
      Subarea: Wiring Manager

    Background

    Wiring Manager, introduced in the V8i SELECTseries 7 versions of  Promis.e and Bentley Substation, replaces Assign/Edit Wire Number and Forced Routing Manager.  Wiring Manager is used to assign wire tags (wire numbers), wire properties, and change (force) connections/routing.  Click the Help button on the Wiring Manager dialog for more information.

    To start the Wiring Manager tool

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

    For Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition

    • Select 2D Design ribbon tab > Wire Properties group > Wiring Manager



    • Function key shortcut: F2 > D > WJ
      • If the 2D Design ribbon tab is already the active tab: F3 > WJ
    • Space bar shortcut: SPACE > 8 (Wire Properties g group) > Wiring Manager

    V8i SELECTseries 7 and 8

    • Right-click a logical line (wire) on a page and select Wiring Manager from the context menu.

       =
    • From the Tasks area select Review/Revise > *Revision Management > Wiring Manager



    • From the Tasks area select Design > *Wire Numbering  > Manual Wire Number then select a wire on the page.



    • Key-in: ECAD EXEC FORCEDROUTINGMANAGER


    promis.e 2007 through promis.e/Substation V8i SELECTseries 6

    Consider upgrading your software to the latest version. Use Forced Routing Manager, Assign/Edit Wire Number, and Manual Wire Number in the meantime.

    To assign a wire property that has no column

    1. Right-click any column header and select Column Chooser.

    2. Find the property on the resulting Customization box and double-click it.

    3. Click the red X on the Customization box to close it.

    4. Add value(s) in the newly added columns.

    To manually assign a wire number

    Click in the Wire Tag column and type the desired value. Click the # button to populate the field with the next available tag. The Wire Installation and Wire Location columns can be added as described above.

    Other Tips

    Rearrange columns by dragging them.  To drag a column, click the column header and hold the mouse button.  Move the mouse and release the mouse button when the column header is in the desired position.

    Remove columns by right clicking the header of the unwanted column and select Remove This Column.

    For more information

    Click Help on the Wiring Manager dialog.

    Alternatively, for Bentley Substation CONNECT Edition, see the Wiring Manager section of online Help for Bentley Substation available from Bentley Product Documentation.
