Fan-In/Out Single-Line Layer function

[rhesusminus]

Hi.

I'm trying to figure out how to use the Ribbon -> Schematic Tab -> Edit Wires/Wire Numbers Panel Dropdown -> Fan-In/Out - Single Line Layer function.

The help files tells me that I'm supposed to be able to select a wire from an existing Single Line Layer, and convert it to the selected Single Line Layer.

However, I never get any question to select an existing wire/line. I've tried to select one of the wires before running the command, without luck.
Am I supposed to select an existing wire when I press the 'OK-Change/Convert'-button?

Also.. if I select a layer from the list, and press the 'Current'-button, nothing happens. The help file says that the selected layer should be set as the current layer, but this doesn't happen.

On the bright side, both the 'Cancel' and the 'Help'-buttons works like they're supposed to 🙂

And also... the 'Pick'-button works. I tried to select a line on a non-single-line-layer with this function, and I was correctly asked if I wanted to add this new layer to the Single Line Layer List.

I've tried in both AcadE 2010 and 2011 with no luck. I hope someone can fill me in on what I'm doing wrong here, or maybe I've misunderstood from the help file what this function is for.

To be honest, I am not sure what the Current button actually does besides
just dismissing the dialog. I think it is the equivalent to an OK button. If
you want to make the selected layer current, make sure to check the box
labelled "Make selected layer current".

Ok (?), but what is the rest of the dialog for? Nothing happens when I use the 'OK-Change/Convert'-button either.

It looks like there is an issue with this button. I will report it and get
this issue logged. I believe that the OK-Change/Convert button should allow
you to pick wires to change them to the selected layer.

Sorry for this,
