I'm trying to utilize the Source/Destination Arrow function in my drawings. I'm having a problem when trying to apply destination arrows to a 3 phase wire bus that is spaced 5mm apart. I can attribute a signal arrow to the first wire of the 3 phase bus, but when I try to do the same to the other two of the three phase wires, AutoCAD tries to replace the first destination arrow I created for the 1st wire of the 3 phase bus saying that only one destination arrow is allowed per network entity even though it let me create source arrows for 3 different wires with the same spacing. Attached is a screenshot of what happens when I try to do what I have just explained. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
Source / Destination Arrow Issues
Make sure that the plug/socket blocks are ones that change the wire number.
As the other side of the plug/socket seems to be shorting the wires together, ACADE will see that as on network unless the blocks used are ones that force a wire number change.
From what you have stated, the blocks don't force a wire number change and ACADE is seeing all three wires as belonging to the one network. As you are trying to connect a second destination arrow to that network, it is coming up with the error you have stated.
Use the SWAP/UPDATE tool to swap the blocks and then delete the three wires leading in before placing them again. Then you will be able to place a destination onto each wire.
