I have a 10 page schematic where the Automatic numbering is working fine except on one sheet. I want an S then the sheet number then the line reference. In Projects/Drawing Properties/Wire Numbers - Wire Number Format I have S%S%N. on one sheet when I place an automatic number I just get the sheet and line number. If I do a format override in the automatic number box it works even though it contains the same S%S%N. Am I missing a setting? I have Autocad Electrical 2008 on a Windows XP PC.
Thanks

Sounds like the drawing has an override applied...even when you think it's not overridden.

Did you check this one drawing sheet that places a different format?
Remember that all the drawings in that project have their own settings located on a hidden block, WD_M. You can set your project properties that can be different than your drawing properties. Attached is a word document that I quickly put together the hopefully will help. Try to determine what wiring format that one page if referencing. Let us know if this helped or you need additional information. Sorry to be away from the forums. I'll try to get back sooner.
