From/To Reporting Not Showing Any Location Codes [AutoCAD Electrical]

[Zerb]

I am attempting to use the Reporting features of ACADE to help me in my work flows but I am having an issue with the first report that I am trying to run. 

I would like to know what wire numbers have a specific LINETYPE used within a project. I originally thought that I could perhaps run a report to look at the places were a certain LINETYPE was used, but that doesn't seem to be possible.

So, my plan was to create a new layer in the project, place the wires that I want onto it and then in the report generation for From/To, set it up so that the WLAY1 was in the Fields To Report and I could then see which wire numbers were all on a certain layer.

However, I cannot get the From/To report to generate anything. Pics are attached to show what I am looking at here. Thanks for any help.

Try to select (??) for both sides.

That did it, didn't even think to try the (??) just assumed that wasn't going to work. Now I see I have to Create/Edit a wire type then it will show up in that report that I can generate. Thanks!

With that said is my method the most direct for what I am looking to accomplish?

-I have multiple drawings within a project
-Certain wires within those drawings all need to be accounted for on a single drawing within the project for connection points from the machine to the MCC once installed in the field.
-I have made separate layers for the (3) types of wires that I would like to keep track of.
-Now when all of my drawings are done within my project I can run that report and it will spit out what wire numbers are located on which layers and I can use that information, exported to an excel file, to then create my interconnection drawing.

Is there a way that ACADE would do that automatically for me? If I were to create a sheet with a bunch of non-numbered wires within the project, then once I added a wire to that specific layer on any sheet within the project it would automatically populate it on the interconnect sheet?

Would your interconnect drawing be a one-line drawing?

And then again, arent' all connections between locations (location code/enclosure) cables? How about using cable markers? Then you could just get a cable from/to report.

Do you have an example of what you're trying to achieve? It's a little bit easier for me to help as I'm kind of "visual".

Send me a PM or e-mail ( t h l @ c t r l a l t e l . c o m ) if you don't want to share here.
