Panel Schedule Circuit Number With Panel Name Suffix

[ebsoares]

Hi, all.

Suddenly, our switchboard circuit index started appending the switchboard name before the circuit number - like this:

In this case, the switchboard is called "DPA", and so it appends "DPA" to every single circuit number. If we change the switchboard name, the circuit number/naming updates as well...

I have never seen it do that before and looked everywhere I could think of to turn it off. In the template edit mode there's nothing other than simply the "circuit number" (no formula):

Could someone help me figure out how to make it stop doing that?

Thanks in advance,

Edgar

Circuit naming is determined through 'Electrical Settings' and 'Circuit Naming' it sets up similar to a label. If it is just the circuit number needed then create a new scheme and have the label show 'Phase Label' only. Also make sure the switchboard circuit naming in 'Properties' under the 'Electrical - Circuiting' grouping corresponds to your selection.

Thank you, @saNGFVJ .

The issue had nothing to do with with settings in the "electrical settings" (but thanks for pointing to it - it could have been), but you were on to something when you said to also take a look at the instance properties of the object - the "circuit naming" parameter in those objects were set to "panel name", and instead they should be either blank (which should be the default anyway), or "standard" - that fixed the issue:

Now I just need to figure out why our switchboards started coming with that setting set to "panel name" by default now, as it never did that before - but I'll post it here if I can't find the solution to it.

Thanks again, @saNGFVJ 👍
