This dialog enables you to edit an existing wire profile or manually add a new wire to an existing cable set. Normally, wires are created automatically when you select a cable configuration to create a new cable. However, you can add a new wire manually by right-clicking a cable set in the Domain Explorer.
Wire

Details
Wire sequence in set
Allows you to type a value that determines the numbering sequence of the current wire
in the cable set. The software assigns this value automatically when you add a new
wire to a set. If you change the sequence number of a wire, make sure that you also
change the sequence number of the other wires in the cable set as appropriate to avoid
duplicate values.
