Location Code Selection for From/To Reporting Dialog Box

Find

 Command entry:  AESCHEMATICREPORT

Select Wire From/To from the report list. Specify whether to process the project, active drawing, or selected wires.

Select location codes from the left and right-hand lists to build the report’s from/to combinations shown in the middle of the dialog box. Click OK to display the report. AutoCAD Electrical quickly filters and formats the extracted data and presents it in the Report Generator dialog box. You can then save it to a text report file, a comma-delimited file to import into a spreadsheet or database program, or insert it on to a drawing in table format.

When you select to run a Wire From/To report, AutoCAD Electrical extracts component, terminal, location code, and wire connection information from the selected drawings. This dialog box allows you to make your report’s “from” and “to” location selections. All the location codes AutoCAD Electrical found on the drawing set are listed on each side of this dialog box. Location “(??)” is also included in the list if AutoCAD Electrical found any component or stand-alone terminals that did not have an assigned location code.

Location codes

Displays the “from” (left-hand list) and “to” location codes (right-hand list) found on the drawings. Clicking a location code moves the selected code from these lists to the Report From/To list in the center of the dialog box.

Report From/To

Displays the combination of location codes you selected from the Location Code lists. This is used to generate the Wire From/To report.

Buttons

  • All >> or All <<: Adds or removes all the location codes from the Report From/To list depending on which side of the dialog box the button is located.
  • << or> > : Removes the selected location code from the Report From/To list.

Multiple Combinations

Displays the Select Multiple From/To Location Combinations for Report dialog box. Each location code in the “From” side is linked to each location code in the “To” side of the report. For example, if you select MACHINE (from) and FLOOR (to) in addition to MCAB5 (from) and JBOX1 (to) the following combinations are created:

MACHINE -> FLOOR

MACHINE -> JBOX1

MCAB5 -> FLOOR

MCAB5 -> JBOX1

Each of the combinations is processed and combined into a single report. Adjust the list as needed (for example, you can select to remove highlighted combinations or keep only those combinations you highlight in the list) and click OK.

Include reverse sequences

Includes reversed wire connections in the report. If unselected, some Wire From/To combinations may be excluded due to wire sequencing.
