Numbering wires connected to same bus

I'm facing problem in numbering the wires. 3 wires from three phase motor are connected to same bus. When I try to put different numbers on 3 wire originating from motor terminal, only one wire is getting number or all the three wires sharing same number.

Also, remember to do a 'Save As...' and change the file type to the 2013 dwg format.

All your motor leads were connected to one phase of the feeder which means all the motor wires were at the same potential. ACADE sees that as one wire. See attached.

You should never wire your motor like that because that is a phase-phase short. That seems to be a screenshot from one of the tutorial videos; the instructor is just giving an example.
