This feature enables you to set the sequence of circuits for a selected bus. By reordering circuits sequence you can avoid a situation where connectors in an SLD intersect each other.

  1. In the Electrical Index or Electrical Engineer, select a bus.

  2. Select Actions > Set Circuit Sequence.

    OR

    Right-click the selected bus and then on the shortcut menu, select Set Circuit Sequence.

  3. On the Set Circuit Sequence dialog, reset the sequence as required. You can do the following:

    • Select a row and select the Up and Down arrows.

    • Drag a row up or down the list. You can see a tooltip that indicates the selected row and the row before or after which the dragged row will be placed.

    • Change the sequence by changing the Starting sequence and Increment by values. Note that you cannot enter 0 (zero) in either field.

  4. Select Apply.

  • Setting the sequence of circuits within cells not in a consecutive manner can cause a haphazard or incorrect placement of these circuits in generated SLDs. Some of the circuits in these SLDs may be drawn within cell frames to which they do not belong. Furthermore, there might be an overlap of cell frames. If the software detects that some of the circuits are not ordered consecutively, a warning message is displayed that prompts you to change the circuit sequence in a consecutive manner.

  • Also note that couplers are always placed in the rightmost position of the bus and their respective bus risers are placed in the leftmost position regardless of their sequence numbers.
