    Wire numbers are blocks or attributes inserted on a line wire entity. AutoCAD® Electrical assigns each wire number type to its own layer. You can assign a different color to each of these layers so you can easily tell them apart. The wire number placement is set to in-line as defined on the Drawing Properties ac.menuaro.gif Wire Numbers dialog box.
