Hi all,

I know this is a German forum but i cant seem to find any help anywhere else for Engineering base. I just started using Engineering base and i am having a lot of difficulty using it. I have to make changes to an old project, i deleted some devices that i didn't need and created new ones. The problem is that my wire numbers wont show the page/sheet references (see attached).

Any help is appreciated 

Thank you,
Sam

Welcome samvivi7

The automatic function to show cross references for potentials is from left to right and from up to down.
On your sheets the sinks are on the left side. If the source of the potential is not on a sheet with a lower number / sheet description (I mean the order in the tree below Documents), then nothing will be shown.
But you can do a right click on the sink and click on "Choose Source". When youŽve done a selection, the cross reference will be shown.

greetings
Fask

Thanks,

Hi

Right click on the cross-reference-target shape. Then you can see "Select Source" in the context menu.

Hey Guys,

couple of more questions;

Why are my wire numbers not populating ? (see attachment). it get Signal but i was able to do the others without any problems.
what is the best way to make sure i got all my wires numbered properly?
What is a good practices to follow and the end of a project? for example check wire numbers, duplicate devices, or wrong connections etc..

any input, pls.. 
Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,

the shape you placed is for potentials. It doesn't show you the wire number. If there is no potential used you only see the word "signal". For displaying the wire number you have to use a shape for wire markers.

Hey Rsdd,

i have placed a potential (see attached). i am still getting the "signal" what am i doing wrong??

thanks for the help.

What I see in the attachment is something different to that what you want:

The potential "151" is not dedicated to the wire. You can do this by drag and drop from the object tree on the left side to the shape in the drawing. If the potential is correct dedicatet to the wire, there you can see a "[+]" in the object tree in front of the potential name. If you click on this [+] you see a list of all cross references of this potential.

The red marked shape with "151" in the drawing is not a potential. It looks like a terminal. If you do a right click on this shape and choose "navigate", the object in the object tree on the left side should be marked. Then you see it is different to the potential. It only has the same name.

I hope this is comprehensible.

Hi!

The cross references can be changed in the settings of each project!

Open the context menu of the project and go to the "View" section... there you can change the Cross-Reference.

Good Luck...

Hey Rsdd and Alvin, thanks guys for the help.

Rsdd i had to delete and redo the potential and it worked.

i have another question, How do you change automatic wiring numbers? my wire numbers are in the increments of 100,100.1,100.2 and so on. i would like to have 100,101,102 and so on.

thanks for the help again.

In this case i would use a worksheet, sorted by wire number and then using the auto complete like in ms excel. So you just have to rename the first two numbers, then you mark this cells and pull down with mouse. The other cells will incremented like in the first two cells specified.

You also could write a vba macro, but it depends on your skill and the number of wires you need to rename.

I tried to attach a picture, but there was an internal server error

Hey Rsdd
Hope you're doing good and everyone here.

why are all my wire numbers under "Function" and under "Automatic wires" all my wires are unspecified.
well so far i am manually entering the wire number which is not a problem but would like to learn a better way.

Also i would like to insert a device and terminal list in the documents. How can i do that?
i know i have to open a worksheet and save it separately but i am have trouble inserting it.

thanks for the help.

forgot to mention,
i did what you had suggested but every time i connected or ran a new wire my numbering would go back to 134.1 and so on. So i decided to to it manually.

All wires are unspecified by default.

I also number the wires manually, but there is an add-in to number wires automatically. I don't use it so i can't tell you, how to use it.

For this you don't have to open a worksheet. You have to create a report. Navigate to the terminal block you want to create a terminal list for. Click left mouse button on it and choose "new report" and then "terminal diagram". The result is be created under "documents" in your project. It's the same for your device list. You just have to start at your device folder, click left mouse button and choose "new report" and then "device list" (or something like this).

Maybe there is something in your project settings. I can't tell you, why it doesn't work.
