I'm trying to insert a loop around a wire crossed by another. The AEWIREGAP command works in certain areas of my drawing, and not in others. It lets me pick the wire to remain solid, but then it doesn't get past the "Select crossing wire to gap:" prompt.
My wires were initially lines, not the wire that Autocad Electrical can insert for you. However, if I'm drawing two new REGULAR lines (not wires) that intersect each other, I can insert the wire gap where they cross each other (loop in this case).
Drawing properties -> Styles is set to Wire Cross: Loop.
Thanks.

Hi Jim,
Nothing leads me to think they would be polylines or else, although I'm not sure where that would be revealed exactly.
And how close is too close? Aside from crossing lines touching each other, the others are nowhere in the surroundings where I want to insert the loops that I would deem "too close". Besides, in the same space in between rungs, if I insert two new lines, I can insert a loop at their intersection.
As for layers, I don't know. I tried to make all lines on the WIRES layer and re-insert loops, to no avail. Again, it however seems to work when they are fresh lines from layer 0.
The attached gives you an idea. Already shown loops were inserted completely "by-hand".
Thank you.

Found the object type (Line) was indicated on the very first line in the Properties... so obvious I did not see it before.
I could confirm at least that yes, everything is "Line".
I attached a partial drawing, which misbehaves the same way as the original.
