Electrical Audit flags JUMPER wires and cables as "Missing Wire Number"

[Anonymous]

Using ACADE15 in windows 7. To my knowledge, I've not changed or customized the Audit settings at all.

As in title, any wires with JUMPER type or with a cable marker (which exist on WIRES layer) are flagged as "Missing Wire Number" by the electrical audit tool, making it nearly impossible to find any actual missing wire numbers.

Any idea or solutions?

Wire layer must start with Jumper for example Jumper_TB is what I use, it is then ignored in Wire Lists and Terminal Block Reports... You also cannot assign a wire number to it so I assume it will ignore it in that error tool which I have never used.

Hi GClarke, my JUMPER wiretype has layer name JUMPER as you said, which should be fine. I believe it's likely just an oversight in the Electrical Audit tool. Hopeful that someone has a workaround, as I'd rather not have to search for a needle in a haystack (Audit shows hundreds of 'errors' because I have many cables and jumper wires)

Have you designated the Jumper layer as a wire?

If you did designate the layer as a wire, did you change the Wire Numbering default to 'NO'?

Hi Brad ,

I just took a screenshot: is this the setting you mentioned? Looks like this is probably my issue! Will test and advise.

EDIT: having some trouble testing, as every time I try to change a wire to JUMPER or JUMPERBAR, it simply disappears.

Ok, so at some point while importing Wire Types from another DWG or importing layer sets, my JUMPERBAR layer became turned OFF:

I've rerun the Electrical Audit and the Wire Types set to NO wire number are now omitted from the Wire Exception error list! Thank you, Brad

The wire layer would have been turned off when you imported the Layer Set.

When the layer set was imported, it probably did a Restore.

When doing a Restore there is an option to turn off layers not found in the layer state which is selected by default.
