Summary

This dialog allows you to specify the properties of a Wire object. A wire is a polyline electrical design primitive that is used to form electrical connections between points on a schematic. It is analogous to a physical wire.

For information on how a placed wire object can be modified graphically, directly in the workspace, see the Graphical Editing section of the Wire object page.

The Wire dialog can be accessed by right-clicking on a vertex point of a placed wire then choosing the Edit Wire Vertex n command.
