I'm not sure where this hides on the ribbon but there is a tool to insert stand alone cross references.

Make sure your Menu Bar is showing. Click the drop down chevron at the end of the Quick Access menu to turn it on.

Click on Components and hover over cross references.

Stand Alone Cross References is the second entry from the bottom just under a separator on the flyout menu.

This may allow you to set up a sheet like your example.

After looking at the provided eplan output, I see a very custom report, and many hours manually dropping in the items contained in those xref pages by location.  What drawing format are you using to create the drawing and xref pages?  Certainly not JIC/JIC125 or NFPA.

While I don't think these are made in EPLAN (Rather See Electrical, owned by Schneider), you just can not create "graphical reports" in standard AutoCAD Electrical. It CAN be done using custom programming.

You can do it manually, by using stand-alone cross-references, as Brad and Don said.

Hello,

This is not working As u have to use source and Destination Together, I need to link text in squares to components cross reference

This Sheet is normally inside any schematic , I don't imagine that Autodesk has no way to do it automatically

Thanks

You should be able to do this manually.

Create a child symbol. No connection points. Make sure it has an attribute named CONTACT, and this attribute has a default value of NULL.

insert this symbol, and connect it to the parent component. It will now have a "live" cross-reference to the parent symbol.

Here's a link to the symbol I've used in the screenshot above:
