It appears you have placed wire arrows on the first sheet from wires 1,2,3,4.

I do not see destination arrows on the second sheet.

 

When you have a wire placed on the drawing, you need to use the "Wire Numbers" njacobs2AM5N_0-1644423125185.png tool or

the "Edit Wire Number" njacobs2AM5N_1-1644423161230.png tool to attach a wire number to the placed wire.

Once you have the Wire Number associated, use "Source Arrow" njacobs2AM5N_2-1644423300126.png tool. Select this tool, then the wire you want to have shown elsewhere on in your project.

 

You should see this menu:

njacobs2AM5N_3-1644423384893.png

From here you can enter a code that needs to be unique. Example "1L2 TO RUNG 141"

Then hit the "OK" Button.

You will then see this menu:

njacobs2AM5N_4-1644423524401.png

Select "OK" if the second location for this same wire (same wire number) is on the current sheet. Otherwise select "NO". (In your case it seems you want the wires to start from sheet 1 and go to sheet 2, so you would select "NO" here.)

 

On the second sheet, select the "Destination Arrow" njacobs2AM5N_5-1644423711496.png tool.

Now select the wire you want to have the same wire number from the first sheet.

You will now see this menu:

njacobs2AM5N_6-1644423784160.png

Type in the code you entered in for the source arrow from the first sheet.

*Hint: If you recently entered the source code, select the "Recent" Button instead!

 

Now select the "OK" Button, and the arrows should now be completed.

Be sure to check the first sheet to be sure the source arrow states the rung it is sending to. If not you may to to right click the source arrow and select "Retag/Update"

Suleiman, this error means that the Block for Wire Arrows is not in the folders AutoCAD looks for.

 

To fix this, open your File Explorer

Search for "HA5S4"

 

NicholasJCAD_1-1645616822834.png

 

Once you have found this File, Right Click on it and select "Open File Location"

 

You should see many AutoCAD ".dwg" Files here.

 

Now you have two Ways to fix this.

 

1. Copy all of these .dwg Files, then paste them into one of the Folder Locations shown in the Error Message. (Easy)

 

2. Using Design Center (type "DC" in Command Line) add the File with all these Blocks to the File Search Path. (Harder)
