Sec (%A) and SubSec (%B) in wire number don't work

[metal_pro2]

I'm doing JIC ladder drawings. In the drawing properties I have sheet set to "01", Section set to "D", Sub section set to "C" and Drawing is set to nothing. Under component and wiring tagging I have the following set
Component - %F-%A%B%S%N
Wire number format - %A%B%S%N

Components tagging is fine eg. PB-DC0113A

However the wire numbering ignore the %A & %B

eg. 0104A is all I get for a wire tag

If I set the value for drawing under drawing properties to "FU" and I leave the wire format as it was
Wire number format - %A%B%S%N

the wire numbers show the drawing value added (even though it shouldn't)
eg. FU0104A is the tag for a wire
components remain unaffected eg. PB-DC0113A

I could set the drawing value to a combination of sec and subsec but thats extra steps.

What version of AcadE are you using? Are you wire numbering project wide or
drawing wide? I will see if I can reproduce this issue.

Got it fixed. It was the WD_MlRH (ladder rung number) block that was copied from a previous project. After deleting it and reinserting a ladder numbers it works fine.
