Replacing One Wire with Another

You can replace a wire or cable after its path has been defined, without losing its path and connectivity data (Component ref and Pin). You can also add a new wire or cable along the same path as an existing wire or cable.

To replace one wire with another:

  1. In the PropertyManager, under Wire From-To List, select the wire or cable you want to replace.
  2. Click Replace Wire PM_EditWires_ReplaceWires.gif.
  3. In the dialog box, select the new wire or cable you want to use, and add it to Selected Wires.
  4. Click OK.
  5. In the message box, click:
    • Yes to delete the existing wire and replace it with the new wire. The new wire assumes the path and connectivity data of the wire it is replacing.
    • No to keep the existing wire, and add the new wire. The new wire assumes the same path and connectivity data as the existing wire.
