Use the troubleshooting tools
There are many tools to use for troubleshooting your AutoCAD Electrical
drawing.
Use the audit tool
Use this tool to identify and clean up some types of problems that might affect
an AutoCAD Electrical drawing. The Electrical Audit tool displays a report of
detected problems for the active project. You can save this file for reference
or surf the file to view and correct the errors.
1 Select Projects ➤ Reports ➤ Electrical Audit.
When you run the command, the progress bar describes the progress of
the audit process. Once the audit is complete, a text box displays the total
number of errors found.
2 Click Details to view the detected problems.
3 Click any of the tabs highlighted with an error icon.
These are the areas where problems were found in your project. If no
errors were found, the Details button is not enabled.
4 Click on an audit record in the dialog box and click Go To (or double-click
the audit record).
Once you browse to an error location an 'x' appears in the audit dialog
box.
5 Fix the error using any of the AutoCAD Electrical editing tools.
After correcting the error, you can select another audit record in the
dialog box for correction.
6 Click Close after correcting errors, Save As/Save All if you want to save
the report, or Print if you want to print the report.
NOTE Run the Drawing Audit tool to perform wire-related clean-up functions
automatically. You can look for problems related to missing wires which were
connected via gap pointers, clean up wires pointing to non-existent wire numbers,
erase wire numbers that are not linked to a wire network, and draw a red outline
around each wire entity.
