Component Tag, Wire Number do not match line number

Auto generated tag and wire number do not match the line reference number. There are multiple sheets in one model space. All sheets have individual layout. See attached snip for details.

Thanks in advance for your help!

AutoCAD Electrical doesn't support multiple sheets within one drawing. I guess the 1. in the tag is supposed to be the sheet number?

Thank you for the response. I don’t have problem with other sheets only with few sheets. Other sheets reference the tag number and wire number correctly.

Hi there,

Just a little note to support what rhesusminus stated, ACE gets confused with multiple drawings in one electronic file. If you see some drawings number correctly and some do not, that is purely by chance, a roll of the dice if it works correctly or things get confused. In the tutorials you can find a example/walk through of how to organize the drawings in the project. You should end up with a project manager that looks more or less like the attached screen shot.

Good luck

Thank you for the explanation. I do have new projects created in the project format just like you mentioned. But trying to work around in older projects that was created by predecessors back in 2012. May be its time to re-draw all old drawing in project format.

Thank you all.
