Enabling/Disabling Coating
Created OnOctober 11, 2022
Updated OnApril 26, 2023
By:Tony Golden
If wires with a coating shield or insulation have been drawn previously and the whole structure must now be considered as composed of bare conductive wires, all coatings can be disabled without modifying the definitions of the wires.
Go to the Setup tabsheet in the main window and select the Settings panel, Fig. 1. If the option Wire Coating in this panel is checked, the coatings are enabled. Uncheck the Wire Coating option to disable all of them.
