Command entry:
AEAUDIT
- Project
- Displays the audit information for all the drawings in the active project.
- Active Drawing
- Displays the audit information for the active drawing only. If a different drawing becomes active, the display updates for that drawing. If the active drawing is not part of the project, the Active Drawing control is disabled and the Project control is selected.
- Details
- Expands or collapses the dialog to hide or reveal the errors.
- Hide Ignored Issues
- All errors marked as ignored are removed from the display.
- Wire - No Connection
- Displays the wires that are not connected to any component. The report lists the unconnected wire number, location point, error message, and the drawing where the error occurs. If there is no wire number assigned, the wire number column is blank.
- Wire Exception
- Displays missing or duplicated wire numbers. The report lists the duplicated wire number, error message, and the drawing where the error occurs. If a wire number is missing, the wire number column is blank.
- Cable Exception
- Displays the duplicated cable and wire color. The report lists the duplicated cable tags, duplicated wire color, error message, reference of the cable tag, and the drawing where the error occurs.
- Component - No Catalog Number
- Displays components with no catalog part assignments. The report lists the component tag, component category, reference of the component, error message, and the drawing where the error occurs. Note: A blank Category value indicates a schematic component.
- Component Duplication
- Displays the components which are seen as duplicates based on the tag. If the project is using combined installation\location tag mode, duplicates are based on the tag, installation, and location values. The report lists the component tag, component category, reference of the component, error message, and the drawing where the error occurs.
- Component - No Connection
- Displays components with connection attributes with no connected wires. The report lists the component tag, component category, reference of the component, error message, and the drawing where the error occurs.
- Mixed Component Network
- Displays components in the wire network that carry a mixture of different WDTYPE attribute values. For example, a one-line symbol (WDTYPE value of “1-”) connected to a schematic symbol (WDTYPE value missing or blank).
- Terminal Duplication
- Displays duplicated schematic terminal numbers. The report lists the terminal tag id and duplicated terminal number, reference of the terminal, error message, and the drawing where the error occurs. Note: Terminal numbers listed in WDN files (located in the same folder as the project definition file (.wdp) are not checked for duplications. You can use wildcards to exclude a group of terminals for duplication checking using this text file.
- Pin Exception
- Displays duplicated component pin assignments. The report lists the schematic component tag and component wire connection pin, reference of the component, error message, and the drawing where the error occurs.
- Contacts
- Displays any child symbols not related to a parent schematic component. The report lists the component tag for the child, reference of the child component, error message, and the drawing where the error occurs.
- Mark As Ignored
- Changes the status of the selected errors to Ignored. Check Hide Ignored Issues to remove the rows from the display.
To select multiple issues, do one of the following:
- Press and hold Ctrl, and choose several errors.
- Press and hold Shift, and choose the first and last error in a range.
- Using the mouse, window the range of errors.
- Mark As Issue
- Changes the status of the selected errors to Issue.
- Go To
- Goes to the drawing location of the selected error and highlights the object, allowing you to correct the error. This option is enabled when you select a single error. Once you go to an error, an "x" appears in the left column. Note: You can also double-click an error to go to the drawing location.
- Export Tab/Export All
- Outputs the audit report as a text file. Export Tab outputs only the active tab while Export All exports the complete audit report.
- Prints the current tab of the audit report.
Note: If you export or print the results of the audit, ignored errors are included and are indicated in the Status column.
