You have to manually update wire cross-references, manually update device cross-references, and they're all separate commands. The cross reference updating and reporting is all a very "manual" process. It was originally Promis-e which was an extension someone else built for ACAD that Autodesk bought and slapped their name on it. Keep in mind, Autodesk didn't develop this product. ![]() I used it from version 2005 to 20 was no less buggy than 2005. I had contacts suddenly reference the wrong coils, cross references get mixed up, etc. Quite often cross references would suddenly stop referencing each other, not update when I updated the project. Even when I stuck with Electrical, I found the drawing integrity to be quite lackluster. Meaning, someone with vanilla AutoCAD could easily go in and break links and wreak havoc on your project. Since ACADe is not designed from the ground-up to be an electrical design package, it still saves everything natively in DWG format. It's very, very easy to "break" an AutoCAD Electrical Drawing.
