AutoCAD Electrical

[#1]

I am having a problem using the update/retag function.
In my original drawing something changed, at the beginning of my day I could do a project wide update/retag but at the end of my day and the next day it would start but never finish.
Also when I update/retag one signal arrow it will take several minutes and sometimes not work, where before it would not take long at all.

I have tried several things but have run out of thoughts.
drawing audit
recover
electrical audit


Lastly I copied everything into a new drawing and try it there. it is giving me an error of:
**** ALERT MSG HERE (wdwnet.lsp) - Xrecord hdl ptr mismatch with terminal
hdl:2FEE8, term hdl=FBC3

It continues with more of the same.
Then it finishes and works, but very slow.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced,

Chris

You might try deleting the project's scratch database. Exit AutoCAD
Electrical. Go to your user folder and find the .mdb file that has the same
name as the project and delete it. Then restart AutoCAD Electrical. The
project's scratch database is recreated.

If that doesn't resolve the issue if the project isn't too large, zip it up
and send to me at pat.murnen@autodesk.com. I can take a look at it and see
if I can reproduce the issue and track down the cause. If you can narrow
down if it is a particular drawing then just send the .wdp file and the
drawing.

I am receiving the same error when attempting to renumber wires on a specific drawing.

[#4]

Did you try the Drawing Audit (DWG Audit on Reports tab > Schematic panel)? This can fix many wire related issues on a drawing. If that doesn't solve the issue, you can send the drawing to me at pat.murnen@autodesk.com.  I can take a look at it. Make sure to include what version of AcadE and what command and any options on any dialogs so I can reproduce what you are doing.

I just returned to work on a project which has been on hold while awaiting a submittal response from USBR (United States Bureau of Reclamation). Prior to submitting my schematics to USBR I ran all the audit features and repaired all relevant errors. Now I'm halfway through making changes as required by USBR and I suddenly find myself getting the same errors when running the "Update Signal References" command. I've run the Drawing Audit which simply lists 8 hdl errors with insufficient information to have a clue how or where the problem lies. I also went in and deleted the scratch database with no success and have run the Electrical Audit. I'm got a ticking clock to complete these changes as well as create a number of other documents including, naturally, wiring diagrams which I assumed I could create from a wire list produced by ACADE 2010. My problem currently exists on sheet 23 of the schematics. If someone is willing to look at the project and perhaps point me in the right direction to correct the problem I'd really appreciate it. I've zipped up my project file but it is 4.3MB so I can't attach it to this msg.

Daniel,

you can email the project to me at pat.murnen@autodesk.com and I can take a look. Please provide as much detail as possible as far as what commands you are running, what options you pick on any dialogs, and what to look for regarding the results.

Also include in the email the version of AcadE you are using.

Thanks,

What was the end result with this?  I am also having "xrecord ptr mismatch" errors.

Can you please zip up and email the project to either myself at randy.brunette@brutec.us, or pat.murnen@autodesk.com and we will take a look. Please provide as much detail as possible as far as what commands you are running, what options you pick on any dialogs, and what to look for regarding the results.

Also include in the email the version of AcadE you are using.

[#9]

I also have some users with this issue.

I will email a zipped copy of the project to Pat to look at.

If there is a resolution - it would be good to post it?

Scott,

I received your files. Thanks.  I will post here as soon as I have any more information. I actually wasn't able to reply to your email. I received some sort of security issue.
