To customize wire number increments without the letter

Anonymous

I haven't found a solution to my custom wire increments. I understand how to personalize it but I unsure of the correct format to do so.

 

Currently my number format is: 190029C1, 190029C2, 190029C3 but I wish to obtain the format: 1900291, 1900292, 1900293...etc.

 

When I view what format I am using, it is %S%N. I have tried using the increments of 1, which does do the increments but I don't want the letters that go along with it. Tried using the sequential option but it changes the format to 19001.

 

Just been manually changing it but it seems like there should be an option to do this.

 

Anything is appreciated! Thanks!

Where is the letter C coming from? It's in every wire number but apparently you don't want it there.

 

I'd like to see what your settings are on the 'Drawing Settings' tab in drawing properties (AEDRAWINGPROPS). Can you provide a screenshot?

Just trying to get the same format that the copies in PDF form have. The last editors some how got it to increment that way. If I had the autocad files of the pdf, I would have just copied the format from those haha..

 

I have tried setting it to sequential as well.

 

I included the Drawing settings, which doesn't have much and the Wire Numbers page.

Since you're using the XY Grid instead of a ladder, I don't think there's a way to suppress the letters. They're part of how the wire number is defined, if you need to tag them as %S%N.

 

I see in your settings that when using the suffix list you go with single-digit numbers followed by letters. Have you considered using a 2-digit system? 00, 01, 02, etc. This would keep you from using letters at all, most likely. That might work for your needs.
