ATUNLOCK_ALL_CIRCUIT_ADDRESSES |
Unlock all addresses on the active circuit |
Prerequisites
- A FireCAD project must be open
- An active circuit must be selected in the Circuits palette
Overview
The ATUNLOCK_ALL_CIRCUIT_ADDRESSES command removes address locks from all devices on the active circuit. After unlocking, addresses will be recalculated automatically when devices are added, removed, or resequenced.
Unlock All removes every fixed address on the circuit, and that includes addresses set with Override Device Address. Both are stored the same way. If you still need a device at a specific address, set its override again after unlocking.
Steps
- Select the target circuit in the Circuits palette
- Click Unlock All Addresses in the Circuits palette, or type
ATUNLOCK_ALL_CIRCUIT_ADDRESSES - Click Yes to confirm. All addresses on the circuit are unlocked, and Manage Addresses shows an empty list
- Device labels update automatically (addresses may change if the sequence has been modified)
Tips
- Use this when you need to re-address an entire circuit from scratch
- Unlocking triggers automatic addressing based on current device sequence order
