Source / destination arrow - attribute WIRECOLOR

The attribute WIRECOLOR is not available with the command Edit Component.

 

How can we use it with AcadE ? and not just attedit.

The color of the wire comes from the layer it is on, not the components. If you want to change the color, use the "Create/Edit Wire Type" command to create the layer and "Change/Convert Wire Type" command to change it.

No..

 

If you double click on a arrow you get all the attributes in the Enhaned Attribute Editor, and there is a WIRECOLOR attribute there !

I get what you are saying now. Funny thing; I checkedalf a dozen source symbols on my computer (Runnning ACE 2013) and none of them have the WIRECOLOR attribute in them...

 

Not sure what to tell you. Are you using stock symbols or ones that were created by someone else? What library are you using?

 

I should state that you should not be changing the attribute with the ACAD Advanced Att Editor. You should be using the ACE's Edit Component instead. If you do it the other way, the project database does not get updated.
