Thank you for your comment. However, I do have %N on the wire number format field of the drawing properties. The wiring number I get is starting 0, 1, 2... etc, not the corresponding rung numbers that I need.

Thanks,

Will

Hi,

Check your Drawing Properties. In the Wire Format tab pick Line Reference function.

Go to the dwg properties and set the Components to Line Reference and the choose the suffix you want to help show the line and the number of the component. You can do this for the project as well in the project properties. Good luck.

Sorry, my comments were for the components. Do the same for the wires in the properties of the project or the dwg.

Make sure you don't have the box checked for sequential mode. You want line reference based.
