    Default Mech. Eq. Problem

    I circuited a piece of HVAC EQ. to a panel and it appears in the panel schedule correctly. However, in the mechanical eq. schedule the panel and circuit number do not appear??? I have circuited a few other pieces of eq. and they all are working correctly. Any ideas?
    thanks

    make sure the parameters are mapped correctly to panel and circuit.

    Is there more than one instance of that piece of HVAC equipment in the project? Maybe they are being sorted together and have differing data, thus causing the data to appear blank in the schedule.

    All parameters are in working order.

    Ive uploaded the mech. eq. family. If anyone has time to take a look and offer an opinion it would be greatly appreciated.


    Thanks.

    I found the problem to be if a mechanical piece of equipment was added to a project that never had an electrical connector and then you add one to the family and reload it into the project, that info never pulls through. What I have done was to rename the family in the project, to something like "titus-old". I then will reload the same family into the job. You then need to drop in the "new" family and when you connect it to a panel the information will show up and schedule. As for the original equipment that won't show the info., that has to be removed. I never could find a way for the circuit information to come through. If someone knows of a way could you please share it with me because we seem to always have a mechanical person adding equipment but never putting on the electrical connector.

    Yeah, this is quickly becoming a disaster. That did work but I negotiated to do the schedules in CAD to avoid tons of re-work for the mechanical guys.

    Thanks
