One-line diagram acting squirrelly

[tcoppens84SWP]

Hello all,

I'm creating a one-line diagram for my motor control cabinet I'm designing. I keep running into issues when linking one-line symbols to the 3-phase schematic symbol. The tag for the one-line symbol is not "sticking" to its assigned schematic component. I've set up the drawing's properties to use horizontal ladders and added the layer "1-" for my one-line wires. There are no rung numbers. The schematic drawings I reference here all have catalog info, installation numbers, item numbers, and reference-based tags assigned to them. 

1. When I insert the default symbol for a vertical one-line circuit breaker (VCB11_1-) and choose to copy the tag from the schematic, it will copy everything except the installation code, even though I have selected to copy over all info. ACADE tries to re-tag the component incorrectly when I manually enter in the installation code.

2. The very first one-line CB symbol I insert says it has to update 17 other symbols and peers, when its schematic drawing consists of one parent symbol linked to two children. There should not be that many updates?? All the subsequent one-line CB symbols only need to update one schematic symbol and one panel footprint.

3. Any time I update/retag the one-line CB, it changes the tag to what it would be on the current page, not the schematic component it's associated with. I end up with a tag like this "CB0108??" (installation 01, sheet 08, rung number ??) when it should be CB011003.

4. Should I be using the bus tap symbol instead of the WDDOT that it inserts by default when making a wire connection? There's next to no info on what this symbol does. 

Can someone help me understand what I'm missing here?

Most of these issues I've managed to sort out, but there is one that came up I'd like some input on.

My company (and I'm sure others) prefers to have the one-line drawings at the very beginning of the power distribution section, before any of its corresponding 3-phase components are shown. When I do the project-wide update/retag, it will act as if the one-line drawing is the basis of how the components should be tagged, which is woefully incorrect. It seems to be going across the page and labeling the breakers, surge suppressors, etc using the A B C D suffixes like they were on the same reference line. But I have it in the vertical rung style. Everything is retagged correctly if I move the one-line drawing to the end of the schematic drawings. Can anyone help with this issue?

Unfortunately that is how the retagging occurs; top down in the list.

You will have to move the one-line to the bottom of the list, retag, and then drag it back up to the top.

Hm. I thought it would've treated a one-line symbol like a child symbol... that stinks. We'll just have to adapt. We upgraded from ACADLT to ACADE a little while ago thinking it would solve a lot of our problems, but it seems that for every two problems ACADE solves, it creates one more, and this is one of them. I suppose I'll have to run the retag and the sheet# resequencing separately. 

Thank you for your response.
