Wire Sequencing

[dianamichelle33]

I'm having trouble with the wire sequencing command. For the most part it works, but there are a few wires that I go to change the sequence and it doesn't stick. When I run the wire from/to report it reverts back to the default sequence. Any suggestions?

Did you perform a database rebuild? Type AEREBUILDDB at the command prompt and click full rebuild. If that doesn't work, exit AutoCAD Electrical and delete the project scratch database in your User folder.

I think the AEREBUILDDB command worked. Thank you!

You can add the command to your ribbon using the CUI editor. I place it between Update/Retag and Utilities on the Project Tools panel of the ribbon. Name it Rebuild DB and set to Large with Text Vertical. Exiting the software and deleting the project scratch database is the ultimate rebuild though. It is good to do this from time to time on a large project that may take some time to complete. Also, rebuild the DB if you have used any plain AutoCAD commands or replaced a drawing in a project using Windows explorer. Think if it this way: If you used a non-AutoCAD Electrical method the database is not updated and must be forced to update.
