How do I label individual Wire segments?

[afelsheimQGEXM]

I am designing a wire harness and I want to use the wire label tool to label each wire segment, but it labels the entire circuit/all the wire branches that are connected as the same wire number.

In the attached screen capture, I am using a terminal with wire change, but I need to represent a wire splice of 4 wire segments, each with a different wire segment ID to populate a wire cut list.

Suggestions on how to use the wire number to do this?

Is the ju20 an acade square terminal?

Put the wires on the left as per the attached

That would work for this particular example, but since I am trying to represent a splice, or more specifically and ultrasonic weld, I need to show which wires are arranged axially. Typically, I use a Splice symbol as shown in the attached screencap, and this illustrated the issue better than the terminal.

Thanks!

I'm not so familiar with use of the splice, I think whenever you join wires like this the network will take the same wire number. Could you define it somehow with cable markers/different cores? I think it's either that or provide some independent connection for your wire to symbol

I couldn't be sure but expect any acade report on the splice would not accept the 3 connections on one side either.

One of the experts might set me right on all the above

Have you tried checking the "On per wire basis" checkbox in the project settings, and rerunning the wire numbering?

Trond's suggestion is really the only way to make this work without a custom solution.

If you are unable to number the wires on a per-wire basis, you may want to consider drawing yourself a custom wire change terminal, and just make it really really small - small enough so that the printed line's weight will obscure it.

I did that for a specific project a long time ago, because it was an as-built legacy project and I couldn't adjust how the wires were numbered. It worked well for that situation.

This is exactly what I'm looking for!

Thanks so much!
