    Question marks in wire numbers

    Product(s): Promis.e, Bentley Substation
    Version(s): through 08.11.13.96
    Environment: N\A
    Area: Wire Numbering
    Subarea: Modify Wire Label

    Problem Description

    Why are question marks appearing in wire number tags in my project?

    Background

    The software appends question marks to wire numbers to avoid creating duplicate wire numbers. This situation is often encountered after copying pages from one project to another.

    How To Avoid

    Option 1 - Do not Maintain Wire Numbers Complete

    Consider clearing the Maintain Wire Numbers check box or setting it to "Tag Only" on the Copy Page(s) dialog. However, using "Tag Only" may not help. When "Tag Only" is used, the Wire Tag value is preserved but the Installation and Location of the page resulting from the copy are adopted by the wires. If there are already wire tags with the same installation and location values, question marks will be appended to the tags on the new page.

    Option 2 - Copy to a temporary project

    1. Copy the page to a temporary, empty project.
    2. Rename the installations and locations as desired as described in Rename All Instances Of An Installation
    3. Copy the page from the temporary project to the final destination project.

    Steps To Resolve

    Option 1 -Wiring Manager

    Use the Wiring Manager to change the Installation, Location, and/or Wire Tag values of wires with question marks in them.

    Option 2 - Automatic Wire Number

    Use Automatic Wire Number to overwrite the wire numbers of a selection of wires, a selection of pages, or the entire project.
