It would be great if the Terminal Strip Editor would count terminal blocks based on their attribute information. So if you had to show the same terminal block on multiple sheets, the editor would count the blocks named the same as one block in the layout. I am currently using ACADE 2017, so I don't know if this has been addressed in the newer version of the software.  Show More

Some of us use our laptop both at the office and when traveling.  We have the AeData folder copied to the network and the network path is added to the top of the Support File Search Path.  But we still have to rename the local AeData folder or AutoCAD Electrical will continue to use it.  Please force the software to check the Support File Search Path first, before using to the local AeData folder.  Then we don't have to rename it.    Another issue is that we must adjust the path statement for PLC and Libs folders in the Support File Search Path, if these are moved to the network.  But when we want to work away from the office, these paths are not available, and when we start AutoCAD Electrical, it deletes these two path statements, since it cannot find them, rather than reverting to the local path.  This started happening with release 2014.   I think that there should be a dialog that allows us to toggle between two different Support File Search Paths.  Don't force us to  change profiles.  Include a Network/Local setup dialog inside of AutoCAD Electrical.  It should have fields with a Browse button to allow us to set up two different paths (Local and Network) to the AeData folder, Libs, PLC, Template (for drawing templates) etc., along with a button that allows us to toggle between the two paths.  If a restart is required, this procedure would offer to save all open drawings and restart AutoCAD Electrical.  This should probably be located under the main pull-down menu list, by clicking on the big "A" at the top left.

When you insert/edit a child block and select the parent/sibling from any of the lists or the dwg, the Description fields are automatically filled with the description of the block/parent you selected.   If you already have a description filled in, you may not want that description to change. This means either retyiping the description or picking it from the dwg again.   What we need is to have a check box which defaults to automatically updating the descriptions but allows the user to turn of the updating of the descriptions if required.   This would be especially useful for items like multifunction relays which may have several outputs that switch seperatley and are used for different functions.   Regards Brad Show More

Hi Guys, i noticed today if you do a source and destination arrow from 1 drawing to another, it does not bring through all the wire layer information.   Drawing 1 has wire type 24v drawing 2 does not have wire type 24v   when you do the source and destination arrow, it brings through the new wire layer so 24v wire type is now in drawing 2 but it does not bring through the layer colour.   it would be good if it brought through all of the information.   Thanks Ian Show More
