The Signal Types grids contain many defaults:

•Pen Color

•Line Type

•Layer mapping

•Cable Type Manufacturer

•Cable Type

•Cable Number Prefix

 

We cannot stress the importance of this data collection. You should probably start here and define your defaults.

 

There are two Signal Types collections:

1.Default Signal Types is contained in the Global Database.

2.The Project Signal Types grid is generated dynamically as you go.

 

WireCAD first looks to the Project Signal Types collection for information. If not found the Default Signal Types collection is queried. If found the Project Signal Types collection is updated with the defaults and the Project Signal Types collection is returned to the requesting function.
